About the game

What is Cognosis

Fairly straightforward snakes-and-ladders style game with 600 numerical, verbal and non-verbal reasoning questions (200 of each type) used to determine progress. Designed to help children improve their 11+/CAT scores (Cognitive Ability Tests used in the UK either as part of 11+/school entrance exams/streaming exams within weeks of starting secondary school) but with a "hard-mode" for adults consisting of a 30 second timer for each question rather than the 50 second timer for children. Cognosis Challenge squares add an extra dimension.

Cognosis is an exciting, problem-solving family game. It includes 600 questions based on the 3 question types that are used in Cognitive Ability Tests (CATs)*, tests that are faced by almost all children aged 10 or 11 in the UK.

Children have 50 seconds to answer the questions (the time allowed in a test) but over 12’s only have 30 seconds, making it a game for all the family. Land on a square and answer the question. Get it right and remain where you are or get it wrong and go back to where you came from. Land on a Cognosis Challenge square and challenge one of your opponents to answer a question of your choice – which category do they find the hardest? If they get it wrong, they go back.

Reach the Final Challenge square and answer the question to be crowned the Cognosis Champion.
