Cognido: A University Project That Conquered the App Stores
Developed by university student David Schreiber, Cognido is a solo-developed multiplayer brain-training game that's already amassed an impressive 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.
Anyone who's completed a university project can appreciate the journey from classroom assignment to successful app. While many student projects fade into obscurity, Cognido has defied the odds. Its success is a testament to Schreiber's ingenuity and the game's engaging gameplay.
While the squid-like mascot, Nido, might not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima's brain training games, Cognido offers a similarly stimulating experience.
Made in Germany, Globally Played
Unlike many university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium 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 exciting addition allows for head-to-head competition between four to six players, culminating in a final brain battle.
