Classic Art Becomes Playful Puzzle Adventure in 'The Great Sneeze', Now Available

The Great Sneeze, a new Android game by Studio Monstrum, takes the classic point-and-click genre and injects it with a chaotic storyline set in an art gallery. Intrigued? You should be, especially when a simple sneeze can cause such havoc.

Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?

A sneeze might seem trivial, but in The Great Sneeze, it's the catalyst for turning an entire art exhibition into a whirlwind of chaos. Just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition, the game introduces us to three friends—Kaspar, David, and Friederike—who are tasked with setting things right. Initially, they're assisting Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with the final touches. But then, the unexpected happens: a colossal sneeze sends the exhibition into disarray. Paintings shift, and the meticulously arranged setup crumbles.

The most dramatic moment comes when Friedrich’s iconic "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog" embarks on an unintended tour through the gallery's other artworks. This sets the trio on a mission: chase down the wandering figure, solve ingenious puzzles, and restore order before the public arrives. The Great Sneeze offers a blend of humor, absurdity, and charm, making it a delightful point-and-click puzzle adventure. Curious? Take a peek at the teaser below.

The Visuals Are Amazing!

Given that the game revolves around Friedrich’s masterpieces, it serves as an engaging introduction to his art. The visuals strike a perfect balance, capturing the essence of a real art museum while maintaining a playful atmosphere. The puzzles in The Great Sneeze are simple yet captivating, focusing on the details within Friedrich’s paintings and the amusing dynamics among Kaspar, David, and Friederike.

Developed by Studio Monstrum with backing from prominent German museums, the game utilizes data from esteemed institutions such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This collaboration ensures a rich, authentic experience.
