University Project Cognido Surpasses 40,000 Downloads

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 quickly gained popularity, boasting over 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.

Many remember past university projects, often quickly forgotten. Cognido, however, is a notable exception, proving that a student project can achieve significant success. The game's appeal lies in its blend of speed and diverse challenges. While its squid-like mascot, Nido, might not possess the comforting charm of Dr. Kawashima's brain training games, Cognido offers a unique and engaging experience.

Made in Germany, Available Globally

Unlike many university assignments, Cognido offers both a free and premium version. While a subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, a free trial allows players to test the waters before committing.

A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode. This mode allows for larger-scale competitions, with four to six players battling it out to claim the title of ultimate brain champion.
