Cognido: A University Project Turned Thriving Brain Training Game

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

Unlike many fleeting university projects, Cognido has achieved remarkable success. Its engaging format and competitive element tap into the enduring appeal of brain training games, reminiscent of the popular Dr. Kawashima series, though with a less cuddly mascot (Nido, a squid-like character).

A German-Made Game with Free and Premium Options

Cognido, which offers both free and premium gameplay options, is more than just a student project. A subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, but a free trial allows players to test the waters before committing.

Furthermore, a substantial update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode that allows for four to six-player competitions. This expansion promises even more engaging brain-bending challenges.
