Introducing younger audiences to high-class artwork can often seem daunting, but The Great Sneeze offers a delightful solution through its engaging point-and-click adventure format. This newly released game is designed for all ages, making art appreciation both fun and accessible.
In The Great Sneeze, players step into the shoes of Kaspar, David, and Friederike, three students on a museum trip to view the works of the renowned artist Caspar David Friedrich. Their visit takes an unexpected turn when a massive sneeze disrupts the gallery's setup, leaving everything in disarray. It's up to these young protagonists, guided by the player, to restore order before the grand opening.
The game's setting inside a high-class art gallery provides the perfect backdrop for players to explore Friedrich's paintings while solving quick, enjoyable minigames. These puzzles are designed to be bite-sized, ensuring that players can easily reassemble the gallery and get everything back in its rightful place.
Do touch the artwork
If you're reminded of the acclaimed Please, Touch the Artwork, you're not alone. The Great Sneeze follows a similar approach by encouraging players to interact with the artwork in a playful, educational manner. As noted in Catherine's review, while The Great Sneeze is suitable for all ages, it's far from being just a children's game. It offers a rich experience with intriguing and fun minigames that keep players engaged throughout their mission to fix the gallery.
Available now on iOS and Android, The Great Sneeze is a must-try for anyone looking to blend art appreciation with interactive entertainment. For more on classic point-and-click adventures, don't miss our latest feature in the "Ahead of the Game" series, where we explore another gem, My Father Lied.
