When it comes to introducing younger audiences to high-class artwork, it can often seem like an impossible task. But what better way to do so than by gamifying it and making things fun? This is exactly what the newly released all-ages point-and-click adventure, The Great Sneeze, seeks to achieve with its engaging puzzles and light-hearted gameplay.
Set within a prestigious art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows the adventures of students Kaspar, David, and Friederike as they visit to admire the works of the renowned artist, Caspar David Friedrich. However, their visit takes an unexpected turn when a colossal sneeze sends the gallery into chaos.
It's up to these three characters, under your guidance, to restore order before the gallery's grand opening. To do this, players must delve into Friedrich's paintings and solve quick, enjoyable minigames that help return everything to its rightful place.
Do touch the artworkIf you're experiencing déjà vu reminiscent of the excellent game, Please, Touch the Artwork, you're not alone. The Great Sneeze adopts a similar approach by celebrating the works of a famous artist through interactive engagement with the artwork.
As Catherine points out in her review, The Great Sneeze, available now on iOS and Android, is not just tailored for kids despite being an all-ages release. It's far from tedious, offering a range of intriguing and fun minigames as players work to repair the gallery.
