When it comes to introducing younger audiences to high-class artwork, it can often seem like an impossible task. However, gamifying the experience and infusing it with fun can bridge that gap effectively. This is precisely what the newly released all-ages point-and-click adventure, The Great Sneeze, aims to achieve with its engaging puzzles and lighthearted gameplay.
Set within the elegant confines of a high-class art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows the journey of students Kaspar, David, and Friederike as they visit to admire the works of the renowned artist Caspar David Friedrich. Their visit takes an unexpected turn when a great sneeze disrupts the gallery's setup, leaving everything in disarray just before the grand opening.
Guided by the player, these three young protagonists must work together to restore order before the exhibition begins. To achieve this, players will explore the various paintings and tackle quick, enjoyable minigames designed to put everything back in its rightful place.
Do touch the artwork
If you're experiencing déjà vu reminiscent of the (excellent) Please, Touch the Artwork, you're not alone. The Great Sneeze follows a similar approach by celebrating the works of a single famous artist and encouraging players to interact with the artwork in a dynamic way.
As Catherine highlights in her review of The Great Sneeze, available now on iOS and Android, this game is not just for kids despite its all-ages rating. It's far from a tedious experience, offering a variety of intriguing and fun minigames that enhance the gallery restoration process.
