Gameplay
Plants vs. Zombies Adventures remained a tower defense game as the original, with the following notable changes:

1. In Road Trip mode, players have a limited amount of plant types that could be used during battle. Seed slots are
unlocked for Zombucks as more stages are reached. Only five of each plant type can be used, although
additional plants may be purchased with gems.
2. Instead of having seeds, a player took along plants grown in the city. Only a maximum of either 15 or 25 of each
plant type could be kept in a player's inventory, for use in road trips.
3. There were two types of battles: road trip battles, which played similarly to the original game, and city battles,
where players defended their houses against zombies sent daily by the computer.
4. Other players could attack another player's city with zombies (costed coins) once a day (paying gems for
multiple attacks). The attacked player will not see the battle occur, and can't do anything other than to defend all
their houses in advance. If the player lost a zombie battle, the target house became unusable, and must be
repaired. The attacker could speed up their own Zombies or stun plants for a cost of 15 fog.
5. Instead of plants disappearing after getting eaten by zombies, they get KO'ed instead. KO'ed plants can be
revived for 25 sun after 10 or so seconds.
6. During combat, the player could click on plants to "buff" them, or zombies to "stun" them. Boosted plants gained
either attack power or attack range for five seconds, while stunned zombies were frozen in place for three
seconds. This ability costed 25 sun per use, had infinite uses, and doesn't have a cool down.
7. The sun given would increase to 100 sun more because zombies appearing more earlier.
8. In the Road Trip game mode, after completing a map, the player would have to spend an amount of gems to
unlock the next map.

Currency
This game had four different currencies:

1. Coins. These were periodically generated by town buildings. Planting a plant in the planter boxes in
town costed coins. More advanced plants costed more coins.
2. Zombucks. These were dropped by zombies, and were given to the player as rewards for
completing quests and beating stages in road-trip mode. Zombucks were used in town mode to buy
and upgrade buildings, place decorations, clean up the town and summon zombies.
3. Gems. These were purchased with real money, and could be converted to the various resources at a
predetermined ratio. Gems were also used to expedite wait times for constructing or upgrading
buildings.
4. Sun. These dropped in battles against zombies from the sky, and are periodically created by
Sunflowers. Sun did not carry over across battles.

Road Trip Stages

The road trip mode had the following map stages, each with a varying number of levels:

Trivia
In an interview with The Verge , Executive Producer Curt Bererton said that "Figuring out a core combat that
would allow players to defend their towns in interesting ways, while also being a truly fun standalone
experience, took a lot of iteration. We prototyped 11 different variants of combat: some were very traditional
path-based tower defenses where the zombies did not attack the plants, but we felt this lost some of the appeal
of the original game." [1]

Even though
0:24 Plants
/ 1:45 vs. Zombies 2 is considered to be the sequel to Plants vs. Zombies, this was the second
Plants vs. Zombies game released.
During the time when the game was first released starting on June 10, 2013, users that play Zuma Blitz (another
Facebook game created by PopCap) who try Plants vs. Zombies Adventures will recieve a pack of 25 Zuma®
Blitz Candy Leis for free. [2]
PopCap gave the users 100,000 gems as a gift for the game shutting down.
This is the first game that introduced human characters other than Crazy Dave on-screen.
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is currently the only other game to introduce human NPCs
other than Dave
However, the Plants vs. Zombies Comics do feature
28-32 of 32other human characters.

Because if it was, then i could be able to recover the files of the game.

I was looking through my old copy of The PVZ official MORE
guide to protecting your brains, when I found this
(seemingly) unused plant (bottom right)??? Who are they? Does anybody have any info on this plant? To me, it
almost looks like they have metal strainers as petals, but that's all I can deduce.

AcmeTheIdiot · 2021-06-25

I'm specifically mostly looking for the name, and possibly concept art of them, though any information would be
great. I just don't see why they would be added to a mass produced book, only to be removed from the game?
It seems pretty odd to me.

Whoever had the absolutly stupid idea to shut this down and not re-release it was a dunderhead and should be
sued, that is all I'm going to say. Sorry that a 9-year old didn't have Facebook, I'm tooooootaaaaaaaaaallyyyyyyyy

I am only sorry that I couldn't really play it.

Nick3805 · 2021-06-19

No, actually 15, close to 16. I used the past tense, what means that at the time I am refering to, the time when
Adventures was playable, I was nine.

Ok

Vilchez12 · 2021-03-21

It was because they didn't like the idea of changing the classic 5-6 lane game mode and just because it was a
new idea they hated it, now those same players are asking them to come back (currently there is a user [can't
remember name], it's creating a remake called "road trip")
