Classic Art Transformed into Playful Puzzle Adventure Game, Now Available

Imagine a sneeze powerful enough to cause chaos in an art gallery. That's the premise of The Great Sneeze, a new point-and-click game on Android developed by Studio Monstrum. This game transforms a simple sneeze into a whirlwind of fun and challenges set just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition.

Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?

Yes, a sneeze can indeed be a big deal in The Great Sneeze. The story follows three friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, who are tasked with fixing the mess caused by an unexpected sneeze. While assisting the curator, Mr. Dietzke, with final preparations, the sneeze sends paintings flying and disrupts the entire exhibition. The iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog by Friedrich takes an impromptu tour through other artworks, leading the trio on a quest to chase it down, solve clever puzzles, and restore order before the gallery opens its doors.

This game is not just a puzzle adventure; it's a humorous, absurd, and charming journey. Experience the chaos and fun for yourself in the teaser below.

The Visuals Are Amazing!

Built around the works of Caspar David Friedrich, The Great Sneeze offers a delightful introduction to his art. The game's visuals beautifully capture the ambiance of an art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles are simple and lighthearted, encouraging players to pay close attention to the details within Friedrich's paintings and enjoy the witty interactions between the three protagonists.

Developed with the support of major German museums such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, The Great Sneeze is a collaborative effort to bring art and gaming together in an engaging way.

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