Starting Adventure Mode in the Game of the Year Edition

Zombie Hand

Adventure Mode is the first available mode and the main mode in Plants vs. Zombies. There are five stages and six areas playable in this mode, which are Day, Night, Pool, Fog, Roof, and Night Roof; each with their own characteristics. There are 10 levels from Day to Pool (stages 1-3), while 9 on Fog and Roof as 4-5 and 5-10 takes place on Night and Night Roof, respectively thus stages 4 and 5 take place in two different areas. A new plant is unlocked and added to the player's roster at the end of most levels, and in the other levels the player receives an item or a note.

Overview[]

In Adventure Mode, the player starts out with only a Peashooter. The fifth level in each area is a bonus level, which takes the form of a mini-game. The tenth level of every stage is a conveyor-belt level. Every fifth level, except for Level 5-5, is later unlocked as a mini-game or Puzzle Mode level. During Level 3-2, the mini-games mode is unlocked, and Puzzle Mode is unlocked during Fog Level 4-6.

First time playing Adventure Mode[]

When playing Adventure Mode for the first time:

  • At the end of first through third and fifth through eighth levels, a new seed packet is obtained.
  • At every first, third, sixth and eighth level, a new zombie is encountered.
  • At the end of the fourth level, an item is obtained.
  • The fifth level is a mini-game, and a seed packet is obtained at the end of it.
  • A note from the zombies is obtained at the end of the ninth level.
  • The tenth level is a conveyor-belt level, and a seed packet that is important for the next area is obtained at the end of it.
  • At the end of Level 5-10, the player just gets another note from the zombies saying they give up and the Silver Sunflower Trophy at the first time.

Once Adventure Mode has been beaten once:

Replaying Adventure Mode[]

Once the player has finished Adventure Mode for the first time, they can opt to replay the Adventure mode. The player can use whatever plants previously obtained in each level. The player will face increased difficulty and a more challenging gameplay than they have experienced when playing for the first time. The player will also discover the Zombie Yeti upon playing Level 4-10 for a second time.

When replaying adventure mode:

Plants vs. Zombies FREE (2.4.0) Adventure[]

Plants_vs._Zombies_FREE_Adventure_Mode_level_selector_(fully_completed)-2

Plants vs. Zombies FREE Adventure Mode level selector (fully completed)-2

Level selector (with both Adventure 1 and Adventure 2 fully completed)

During the 2.4.0 update of Plants vs. Zombies FREE, the Adventure Mode has been redesigned with a level selector. The new Adventure Mode is very similar to the one in Plants vs. Zombies 2, where players can unlock new levels after completing one, and they can also replay any level they want (this also removed Quick Play). After players beat all levels in Adventure Mode for the first time, "Adventure 2" will be unlocked, which is similar to replaying Adventure Mode from the old versions (but with the level selector, rather than sequentially going through each level). Also, players can return to "Adventure 1" which is similar to Quick Play but includes every Adventure Mode level to replay them anytime.

  • The naming of each level has changed, with the stage numbers (1 through 5) being replaced by the stage names (Day, Night, Pool, Fog and Roof). For example, Level 1-1 is renamed as Day Level 1.
  • In "Adventure 1", players can play earlier levels with plants they have obtained from latter levels, except for Level 1-1, Level 1-2, Level 1-3, Level 1-4, Level 1-6 and Level 1-7 in which players can only use the plants unlocked when they played these levels for the first time.
    • Level 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 will have one lane, three lanes, and three lanes respectively, the same as playing them for the first time.
  • PvZ FREE Adventure 1 locked levels

    PvZ FREE Adventure 2 locked levels

    Locked levels in Adventure 2

    In both "Adventure 1" and "Adventure 2", players can preview the levels in the next area following the current area they have unlocked, e.g. if the player is at a Day level, they can preview the Night levels, but not further from that.
  • Clicking on a locked level or trying to start a new level with 2 saved progresses will emit a sound identical to the sound when Jack-in-the-Box Zombie opens its box.
  • In "Adventure 1" the plants obtained after each level are shown under the corresponding levels; however special items and notes are shown as a smiley Sunflower face in the level selector.
  • In "Adventure 2" the plants and smiley Sunflower faces are still shown in the level selector, even though players will get Money bags instead of seed packets or items.
  • In "Adventure 2" there are 3 slots with forced random plants that cannot be replaced with other plants.
