COCOA™ Test (short for COnundrum COgnitive Assessment™) is a miniature puzzle hunt written by Bruce Leban. It was released on August 13, 2020, and is visually intended to be a pastiche of the MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) test. (The real-life MoCA test is a test designed to test for dementia and mild cognitive impairment, and gained publicity in late July 2020 with former U.S. president Donald Trump boasting in a Fox News interview that he got a perfect score on the test, which he falsely claimed tested for IQ.[1]) The puzzle hunt is designed to be fairly accessible, with no specialized knowledge required other than common codes and ciphers, as well as crossword and cryptic clue knowledge.
