Devo Presents: Adventures of the Smart Patrol

About

Devo Presents: Adventures of the Smart Patrol is a point-and-click adventure game where the band Devo teams up with a cast of eccentric characters to stop a bizarre alien threat. Players guide the group through Spudland, solving puzzles and interacting with oddball NPCs to thwart a space turkey man’s plans. The game leans into Devo’s signature irreverent humor with quirky dialogue and surreal scenarios. Gameplay mixes standard adventure mechanics with the band’s trademark absurdist energy. Released in 1996 for PC and Mac, the game exists as a niche curiosity more than a technical showcase. Its cult status stems from Devo’s direct involvement and the sheer weirdness of its premise. While not widely remembered for its polish, it remains a talking point for fans of 90s oddities and Devo’s experimental side projects. The single-player campaign is brief but packed with the group’s signature questioning of societal norms, albeit through a turkey-shaped lens.
