The Great Sneeze Turns Classic Art into a Playful Puzzle Adventure, Out Now

Ever thought a sneeze could cause chaos in an art gallery? That's the premise of The Great Sneeze, a new point-and-click adventure game on Android developed by Studio Monstrum. This game takes the classic formula and injects it with a dose of humor and absurdity, all set against the backdrop of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition.

Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?

In The Great Sneeze, what starts as a routine day turns into a whirlwind of chaos due to an incredibly powerful sneeze. The game is set just before the grand opening of the exhibition, where three friends—Kaspar, David, and Friederike—are helping the curator, Mr. Dietzke, with the final touches. Suddenly, a sneeze sends the entire exhibition into disarray, with paintings shifting and the carefully curated setup falling apart.

The highlight of the chaos is Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, which embarks on an unexpected journey through other artworks. The trio must chase down the wandering figure, solve clever puzzles, and restore the exhibition before the doors open to the public. 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 that The Great Sneeze revolves around Friedrich's work, it serves as an excellent introduction to his paintings. The game's visuals beautifully capture the essence of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles are simple yet engaging, focusing on the details within Friedrich's artworks and the humorous interactions among the three main characters.

The Great Sneeze was developed by Studio Monstrum with support from major German museums, including the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This collaboration ensures an authentic and enriching experience for players.

You can dive into the fun and chaos of The Great Sneeze by downloading it for free from the Google Play Store.
