Introducing younger audiences to high-class artwork can be a daunting challenge. However, the newly released all-ages point-and-click adventure game, The Great Sneeze, tackles this task head-on by making the experience fun and engaging through gamification. This delightful game offers a unique blend of snappy puzzles and casual entertainment.
Set within the walls of a prestigious art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows the journey of students Kaspar, David, and Friederike as they visit to admire the paintings of the renowned artist Caspar David Friedrich. Their visit takes an unexpected turn when a mighty sneeze disrupts the gallery's setup, leaving everything in disarray. As players, you guide these three characters to restore order before the gallery's grand opening, ensuring a smooth exhibition launch.
To achieve this, players must delve into the various paintings and solve quick, engaging minigames. These bite-sized puzzles are designed to reassemble the gallery and place everything back where it belongs, making the experience both educational and entertaining.
Do touch the artwork If you find yourself reminiscing about the excellent Please, Touch the Artwork, you're not alone. The Great Sneeze adopts a similar approach by celebrating the works of a singular famous artist, encouraging players to interact with and engage in the artwork in a dynamic way.
As Catherine highlights in her review, The Great Sneeze, available now on iOS and Android, is not just for kids despite being an all-ages release. It's a compelling game that offers a variety of intriguing and enjoyable minigames, ensuring that players of all ages can have fun while helping to fix the gallery.
