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 charm lies in its setting within a high-class art gallery, where players must explore Friedrich's paintings and solve quick, enjoyable minigames to reassemble the exhibition. These bite-sized puzzles not only keep the gameplay snappy but also encourage players to interact with and appreciate the artwork in a unique way.
Do touch the artwork
If you're reminded of the acclaimed Please, Touch the Artwork, you're on the right track. The Great Sneeze follows a similar approach by celebrating the works of a famous artist through interactive engagement. 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 as they work to fix the gallery.
