When it comes to introducing younger audiences to high-class artwork, it can often seem like a daunting task. However, gamifying the experience and infusing it with fun can bridge that gap effectively. This is the approach taken by the newly released all-ages point-and-click adventure game, The Great Sneeze, which uses engaging puzzles and light-hearted gameplay to captivate players.
Set within the elegant confines of an art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows the adventures of students Kaspar, David, and Friederike during a visit to view the masterpieces of the renowned artist, Caspar David Friedrich. Their museum trip takes an unexpected turn when a monumental sneeze sends the gallery into chaos, scattering the artworks.
Your mission, guiding these young protagonists, is to restore order before the gallery's grand opening. To accomplish this, you'll delve into Friedrich's paintings and tackle quick, enjoyable minigames that help reposition everything correctly.
Do touch the artwork
If you're reminded of the acclaimed Please, Touch the Artwork, you're on the right track. The Great Sneeze adopts a similar concept, encouraging players to interact with the works of a single famous artist in a playful, interactive manner.
As noted by Catherine in her review, The Great Sneeze is now available on iOS and Android. While designed for all ages, it's far from being just a children's game. It offers a variety of intriguing and enjoyable minigames that keep players of all ages engaged as they work to restore the gallery.
