Cognido: German-Made AI Project Hits 40K 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 already amassed 40,000 downloads. This fast-paced game pits players against friends and strangers in quick matches, challenging them with a range of problems from simple math to trivia and beyond.

The game's success is unsurprising, tapping into the enduring popularity of brain-training games. 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, Free and Premium Options Available

Unlike many university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full Cognido experience, but a free trial allows potential players to test the waters before committing.

A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode for four to six players. This competitive addition promises even more brain-bending challenges.
