Introducing younger audiences to the world of high-class art can be a challenge, but what if learning could be fun and engaging? The Great Sneeze, a newly released, all-ages point-and-click adventure, does just that. This charming game uses snappy puzzles and casual gameplay to make art appreciation accessible and enjoyable.
Set in a sophisticated art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows Kaspar, David, and Friederike, three students visiting the museum to admire the works of Caspar David Friedrich. While assisting Mr. Dietzke with the gallery's grand opening preparations, a colossal sneeze throws everything into chaos!
Players guide the trio as they work to restore order before the exhibition begins. This involves exploring the various paintings and solving quick, bite-sized puzzles to return everything to its rightful place.
Fans of the excellent Please, Touch the Artwork will find familiar ground here. The Great Sneeze shares a similar concept, celebrating the works of a famous artist (in this case, Caspar David Friedrich) by encouraging interactive engagement with the artwork.
As Catherine notes in her review, while designed for all ages, The Great Sneeze is not just a "kids' game." It offers intriguing and fun minigames, making the experience enjoyable for players of all ages. The Great Sneeze is available now on iOS and Android.
