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 do with its snappy puzzles and casual fun.
Set inside a high-class art gallery, The Great Sneeze follows a trip to the museum, where students Kaspar, David and Friederike arrive to view the paintings of, well, Caspar David Friedrich, the famous artist. However, as they help out Mr Dietzke to set up for the grand opening of the gallery, a great sneeze sets everything in disarray.
It's up to these three, guided by you, to set things right before the exhibition opens and ensure that everything goes off without a hitch. To do so you'll need to explore the various paintings and solve quick, bite-sized puzzles in order to ensure that everything's back in its right place.
If you're getting flashbacks to the (excellent) Please, Touch the Artwork then you're not alone. As The Great Sneeze seems to be following a similar setup of celebrating the works of a famous artist (singular in this case) by encouraging players to engage with their artwork in an interactive way.
As Catherine points to in her review of The Great Sneeze, which is out now on iOS and Android, this may be an all-ages release but it's certainly not just "for kids"; and it's certainly not a slog either as it offers plenty of intriguing and fun minigames to enjoy as you work to fix the gallery.
