Cognido: German Uni Project Downloads Hit 40,000

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 rapidly gaining popularity. Boasting over 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.

The game's success is hardly surprising. Many of us fondly remember brain-training games of the past. While Cognido's squid-like mascot, Nido, may not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima, the gameplay is undeniably engaging.

Made in Germany, Available Globally

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 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 be the ultimate brain champion.
