Free Today: Plants Vs. Zombies

PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies, the iTunes Game Center's App of the Week, is free in the iOS App Store today!

Winner of more than 30 Game of the Year awards.* Plants vs. Zombies™ was spawned from the fertile minds that created Bejeweled®, Peggle®, Zuma® and Bookworm®. 

Get ready to soil your plants as a mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home. Use your arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants — peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more — to mulchify 26 types of zombies before they break down your door. 

Game Features:

50 FUN-DEAD LEVELS
Conquer all 50 levels of Adventure mode — through day, night, fog, in a swimming pool, on the rooftop and more! Replay levels in the all-new Quick Play arena.

NOT YOUR GARDEN-VARIETY GHOULS
Battle zombie pole-vaulters, snorkelers, bucketheads and more. Each has its own special skills, so you'll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all.

SMASHING FUN 
Try to survive all 9 unique levels as you battle zombies hiding in vases. It's smashing fun!

SMARTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE ZOMBIE
Be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds. Zombies love brains so much they'll jump, run, dance, swim and even eat plants to get into your house. 

FIGHT LONGER, GET STRONGER
Earn 49 powerful perennials and collect coins to buy a pet snail, power-ups and more.

GROW WITH YOUR GAME
Earn 44 awesome achievements and show off your zombie-zapping prowess.

COIN PACKS
Need coins for great new stuff? Buy up to 600,000 coins right from the Main Menu.


Stop Zombie Mouth!

The contents of trick 'r treat bags are going to look a little different this Halloween if PopCap, the American Dental Association and your local dentist get their way. They are all teaming up this October to Stop Zombie Mouth by offering up free Plants vs. Zombies game downloads for Halloween as a sugar-free alternative to candy.

"This Halloween, the Putrid Posse is coming after the mouths of kids everywhere. We need your help to stop them — and Stop Zombie Mouth! Team up with PopCap — makers of Plants vs. Zombies — and the American Dental Association to help teach kids of all ages about good oral hygiene. You can help by giving FUN instead of candy on Halloween — for free!"

Limited edition Plants vs. Zombies collectible trading cards with free download codes are available at your local dentist's office (if they are participating in this program) and free game coupons are available online at the Stop Zombie Mouth website so you can give them out to trick 'r treaters too.
