Cognido: A University Project Turned Popular Brain-Training Game
Developed by university student David Schreiber, Cognido is a solo-developed multiplayer brain-training game that's quickly gained popularity, boasting over 40,000 downloads. Unlike many fleeting university projects, Cognido offers fast-paced, competitive matches against friends and strangers.
The game presents a variety of challenges, progressing from simple math problems to trivia and beyond. While not quite as heartwarming as the Doctor Kawashima brain training games, Cognido's unique, squid-like mascot, Nido, adds a quirky charm.
A German-Made Game with Free and Premium Options
Cognido, developed in Germany, offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, but a free trial allows players to test the waters before committing.
A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode. This exciting addition will allow for larger-scale competitions with four to six players battling it out to be the ultimate brain champion.
