Player's House is the 1st area, also known as tutorial in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It takes place on the front yard, which is exactly the same as Day in Plants vs. Zombiesand Modern Day. In the first level, the player's lawn only has one lane, and as they continue, more lanes will come in (three in Days 2, 3 and
4, as well as five in Day 5) like in the beginning of the original Plants vs. Zombies. Beforehand, the player formerly had the option to play the tutorial or to skip it, as skipping the tutorial would direct them to the epilogue of Day 5. As of update 9.9.2, skipping the tutorial is no longer possible.
After the player beats these levels, they obtain a bottle of hot sauce and meet Crazy Dave, who eats the taco from the first game with the hot sauce. He decides to eat it again, so he uses his time machine, Penny, to go back in time to a time when it was not eaten.
However, there were mistakes that happen when they are going back. The player, Penny, and Crazy Dave go back to Ancient Egypt, where the player's trip starts.
Most Piñata Parties take place on the front lawn. In Piñata Parties, the player is able to play Special Delivery (or rarely Locked and Loaded usually when using the Imitater or Toadstool), but with the possibility of getting almost any plant, including even the premium plants (such as the Squash), and fighting almost any zombie.
The Piñata Parties were the first Player's House levels to feature the Player's House mine cart and gravestones, and were also the first to feature the normal Gargantuar and Imp.
Vasebreaker Intro is a group of Vasebreaker levels that available only when completing Frostbite Caves - Day 4. After completing this group, a new Power Up called Reveal Vase is unlocked.
Vasebreaker Endless is an Endless Zone that is unlocked after beating Boss Vase. Like Vasebreaker Endless in the original game, the player needs to beat as many waves as they can to reach the higher score. The player can obtain 50 sun each level to use on Cherry Bombs. When the player reaches wave 16 or completes wave 15, they unlock a Power Up called Move Vase.
The cross road sign in the far right of the lawn calls the street "Fan Street", a reference to video game franchise creator George Fan. It is also next to "Werner Road", referencing art designer Rich Werner.
A house resembling the player's house can be seen on the map in every world.
However, its appearance changes to fit the theme of the world it is in.
Even though the level progress bar has a flag on it for a huge wave, the Flag Zombie did not appear in Day 1. This was later patched.
The music in this world is a remix of "Grasswalk", but uses different instruments and plays a little longer, in addition to using some instruments from Pirate Seas.
During the cutscene after the tutorial, a dinosaur fossil is visible underneath the lawn, this was most likely done as a nod to the theme of the game.
Except for the Pole Vaulting Zombie, all the zombies encountered in the Day area in Plants vs. Zombies reappear here.
This is the only area that is not visible on the overall map, that does not have its own map, and cannot be accessed again when completed (unless one counts the three Vasebreaker levels that take place here).
The tricycle in front of the house is now red instead of pink. The welcome mat now also has a cyan color instead of yellow.
