Introducing younger audiences to high-class artwork can often feel like a daunting challenge. However, gamifying the experience and making it enjoyable is a brilliant approach. This is precisely what the newly released all-ages point-and-click adventure, The Great Sneeze, aims to achieve with its engaging puzzles and casual fun.
Set within the elegant confines of an art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows the journey of students Kaspar, David, and Friederike as they arrive to admire the masterpieces of the renowned artist, Caspar David Friedrich. Their visit takes an unexpected turn when a mighty sneeze throws the gallery into chaos just as they're assisting Mr. Dietzke with preparations for the grand opening.
It falls to these three young protagonists, under your guidance, to restore order before the exhibition commences. To accomplish this, you'll delve into the paintings and tackle quick, enjoyable minigames to ensure every piece is back in its rightful place.
Do touch the artwork
If you're reminded of the excellent game Please, Touch the Artwork, you're not alone. The Great Sneeze adopts a similar concept, celebrating the works of a single famous artist by inviting players to interact with the artwork in an engaging manner.
As Catherine notes in her review, The Great Sneeze, available now on iOS and Android, is an all-ages release but certainly not just for kids. Far from being tedious, it offers a variety of intriguing and enjoyable minigames as you work to repair the gallery.
