Cognido: A University Project Turned Brain-Training Hit

Developed by university student David Schreiber, Cognido is a solo-developed multiplayer brain-training game that's already amassed an impressive 40,000 downloads. This fast-paced game pits players against friends and strangers in quick-fire challenges ranging from simple math problems to trivia and beyond.

Anyone who's completed a university project can appreciate the journey from classroom to a potentially successful product. While many such projects fade into obscurity, Cognido is a shining example of a student endeavor that's achieved remarkable success.

The game's quick match format offers a refreshing take on brain training, contrasting with the more methodical approach of games like Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training. While Cognido's mascot, Nido, may not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima, the game's engaging gameplay is undeniably addictive.

Made in Germany, Globally Played

Unlike many university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, but a free trial allows users to test the waters before committing.

A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode that allows for four to six-player competitions. This expansion promises to further enhance Cognido's already engaging gameplay.
