Game modes (PvZ)

There are multiple types of game play modes to choose from, as well as levels inside each game mode.

Game modes include:

 * Adventure Mode The only mode available from the start of the game, is basic levels one after another, with a new seed packet obtained at the end of most levels. There are five groups of levels, which are Day, Night, Pool, Fog, and Roof, each with their own differences
 * Survival Mode is unlocked when Adventure Mode is beaten for the first time. The player must survive multiple waves of zombies. He/she gets to choose new seed packets to defend against a different group of zombies, five in total, every 1 or 2 flags (depending on whether playing the normal or hard versions) to continue building up his/her defenses. For each group of zombies, the plants the player previously had on the lawn and your sun remain, but Lawn Mowers, Pool Cleaners, and Roof Cleaners are not renewed. At the end of the first completion of each Survival Mode level, a Trophy is received with a diamond, and gold coins for any remaining Lawn Mower, Pool Cleaner or Roof Cleaner.
 * Puzzle Mode is a game mode that contains two separate puzzle types- Vasebreaker and I, Zombie.


 * Mini-Games is a feature that is available on the PC version of Plants vs. Zombies, where they are accessed through the main menu below Adventure Mode, and most of them on the iPad version, where they are accessed through Quick Play. There are 20 mini-games (18 on the iPad) that include many twists to the game, such as smaller zombies and zombies with plants for heads. A list of minigames is below.
