Introducing younger audiences to the world of high-class artwork can be a challenging endeavor. However, the newly released all-ages point-and-click adventure game, The Great Sneeze, makes this task enjoyable and engaging by turning it into a fun, interactive experience.
In The Great Sneeze, players join Kaspar, David, and Friederike on their visit to a prestigious art gallery dedicated to the works of the renowned artist Caspar David Friedrich. Their day takes an unexpected turn when a massive sneeze disrupts the gallery just before its grand opening. Guided by you, these three young protagonists must work together to restore order and ensure a successful exhibition.
Your mission is to explore the gallery's collection of Friedrich's paintings and solve quick, engaging minigames to put everything back in its rightful place. These bite-sized puzzles not only keep the gameplay brisk and enjoyable but also offer an interactive way to appreciate the art.
Do touch the artwork
If you're reminded of the acclaimed game Please, Touch the Artwork, you're on the right track. The Great Sneeze adopts a similar approach, celebrating the works of a singular artist by encouraging players to interact with and explore the artwork in a meaningful way.
As Catherine highlights in her review, The Great Sneeze—now available on iOS and Android—is not just for children despite its all-ages rating. It's a game that captivates players of all ages with its intriguing and enjoyable minigames, making the process of fixing the gallery both fun and educational.
