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 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 more complex puzzles. While its squid-like mascot, Nido, may not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima's brain training games, Cognido's engaging gameplay has clearly resonated with players.
A German-Made Game with Freemium Model
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 for four to six players.
