Modern Day

Modern Day is the eleventh world in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Part 1 was released on January 7th, 2016 for some users and finally released on January 12th, 2016. Part 2 was fully released on February 16, 2016.

It is set in the present, more precisely a few moments before Crazy Dave eats his taco (and further begin his time travel journey), and features Dr. Zomboss trying to negate and alter the history. The lawn is the same as the Player's House and the music is a combination of themes from the first game with instruments from every world.

This world is a mash-up of every time period encountered before, and the main environment modifier, portals, reflect that. Portals summon a special zombie from any time period to the lawn. The tiles where portals appear and the zombies summoned are scripted and never change. The gimmicks from some other worlds are also present, elevating the challenge to the point of being the second world with a five Jalapeno difficulty rating.

Since the player can encounter zombies from every previous world in this world, it can be a good option to complete multiple tasks at the same time from Travel Log that involves killing certain zombies.

Game description
''The end is the beginning! Return to moments before you left in a contemporary contest stocked with zombies of every egregious era!''

Difficulty
Being considered by some the last world, Modern Day pits the player against nearly every zombie in the game, even if they did not encounter all of them. As a result, hence its five Jalapeno difficulty, Modern Day is an extremely hard world. It contains sixteen somewhat hard days, 2, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 28, 31, seven very hard days, 7, 9, 10, 12, 21, 26, 29, and one extremely hard day, 30. It also contains three variable levels, 32, 33, and 34. It it is slightly easier than the previous world, Big Wave Beach, though it is the same difficulty as Jurassic Marsh.
 * Easiest level: Modern Day - Day 1
 * Hardest level: Modern Day - Day 30

Beghouled
Similar to the first game, the player has to make matches of three or more of the same plant so more can appear. Each match gives one sun plus another one for each chain reaction caused. The sun is used to upgrade the plants on the board. If the player manages to make a match of more than four plants, the Plant Food effect of the plant moved is activated. When a set of matches is reached, the player wins the level.

It is playable on Days 8, 13, 22 and 27.
