Introducing young audiences to high-class artwork can often seem daunting, but The Great Sneeze makes it engaging and fun through its all-ages point-and-click adventure. This newly released game uses snappy puzzles and casual gameplay to draw players into the world of art.
Set within a prestigious art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows students Kaspar, David, and Friederike on a museum visit to appreciate the works of the renowned artist Caspar David Friedrich. However, their plans are thrown into chaos when a massive sneeze disrupts the gallery's setup for its grand opening.
Players take control of these three characters, guided by Mr. Dietzke, to restore order before the exhibition begins. To achieve this, players must explore Friedrich's paintings and solve quick, enjoyable minigames to put everything back in its rightful place.
Do touch the artwork
If you're reminded of the excellent Please, Touch the Artwork, you're on the right track. The Great Sneeze adopts a similar approach by celebrating the work of a famous artist through interactive engagement with the artwork.
As highlighted in Catherine's review, The Great Sneeze, available now on iOS and Android, isn't just for kids. It offers a variety of intriguing and fun minigames that keep the experience enjoyable and far from tedious as players work to fix the gallery.
