Cognido: A University Project That Conquered the App Stores
Cognido, a fast-paced brain-training game developed by university student David Schreiber, is a solo project that has surprisingly achieved significant success. Offering quick matches against friends and strangers, Cognido presents a diverse range of challenges, from simple math problems to trivia and beyond.
Boasting over 40,000 downloads, Cognido's popularity is easily understood. While its squid-like mascot, Nido, may not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima's brain training games, Cognido's engaging gameplay keeps players coming back for more.
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 major update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode for four to six players. This competitive addition will further enhance Cognido's appeal to puzzle enthusiasts.
