Classic Art Transformed into Playful Puzzle Adventure: The Great Sneeze Launches

The Great Sneeze, a new Android game developed by Studio Monstrum, takes the classic point-and-click genre and injects it with a whimsical twist. Imagine an art gallery thrown into chaos by something as simple as a sneeze. That's the premise of this charming game, set during the final preparations for a grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition.

Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?

You might think a sneeze is no big deal, but in The Great Sneeze, it's the catalyst for an uproarious adventure. The story follows three friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, who are tasked with fixing the chaos unleashed by an unexpected sneeze. As they assist Mr. Dietzke, the curator, in the last-minute setup, everything goes awry. Paintings shift, and the meticulously arranged exhibition crumbles.

The most dramatic mishap involves Friedrich's iconic "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog," which embarks on a whimsical journey through other artworks. The trio must chase down this wandering figure, solve intricate puzzles, and restore order to the gallery before its official opening. It's a delightful mix of humor, absurdity, and charm, making The Great Sneeze a standout point-and-click puzzler.

The Visuals Are Amazing!

Given its setting, The Great Sneeze serves as a fantastic introduction to Friedrich's art. The game's visuals strike a perfect balance between the authenticity of an art museum and a playful, engaging atmosphere. The puzzles are simple yet engaging, requiring players to pay close attention to the details within Friedrich's paintings while enjoying the lighthearted banter among the protagonists.

Developed with the support of major German museums, including the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, The Great Sneeze boasts a rich backdrop of real-world art. This collaboration ensures a high-quality experience that's both educational and entertaining.

You can dive into this delightful adventure by downloading The Great Sneeze on the Google Play Store, where it's available to play for free.
