Fairytale Forest
The 1st and 2nd secret realms in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2
April 25, 2022 (Part 1, Android)

Fairytale Forest (童话森林; pinyin: Tóng​huà Sēn​lín), also referred to as Fairytale World (童话世界 (Unsourced); pinyin: Tóng​huà Shì​jiè), is a secret realm released for the Secret Realms game mode in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is the first realm ever released, and currently the only permanent one. It consists of two parts: Part 1 was released in the v2.8.4 update on April 25, 2022 on both Android and iOS devices. Part 2 was released in the v2.9.0 update on July 1, 2022 on Android devices, and in the v2.9.1 update on July 4, 2022 on iOS devices. The battle against Fairytale Zombot was released in the v3.4.1 update on May 28, 2024 on Android devices, and in the v3.4.2 update on May 29, 2024 on iOS devices. Its Endless Challenge zone, the Wonderland Rabbit Hole, was released in the v3.5.1 update on August 23rd, 2024 on both Android and iOS devices.

The primary mechanic of this world is Magic Fog. Magic Fog is similar to the Fog found in Dark Ages. Unlike Dark Ages fog however, Magic Fog cannot be cleared by Plantern, Groundcherry, Torchwood or Blover. New plants cannot be placed on tiles covered by Magic Fog, but pre-existing plants will not be affected by Magic Fog.

Magic Fog will also grant zombies Magic Shields whose strength will vary depending on what color they are. Magic Fog will come in three different colors white, blue and purple. These different colors will determine the color of the Magic Shields they grant zombies. Magic Fog can only be removed by Magic Winds, which randomly occur at random intervals during gameplay.

Magic Shields reduce the amount of damage zombies take by certain amounts. White shields reduce damage by 25%, blue shields reduce damage by 50%, and purple shields reduce damage by 75%. Zombies with magic shields are also immune to slowing debuffs, while blue and purple shields make zombies immune to stunning, hypnotizing, lane changing, and even instant-kills. Heath Seeker is able to instantly destroy Magic Shields and even prioritizes attacking zombies with them.

Starting from Part Two, a new mechanic is the Wizard's Cauldron, players can 'feed' Wizard's Cauldrons on the lawn Plant Food and a plant by selecting and dragging them onto the tile it occupies. When a Wizard's Cauldron is fed a plant and Plant Food, it will spawn a seed packet of a different plant of a higher rarity that the player can tap and plant on the lawn. When a Wizard's Cauldron is destroyed, is will release a cloud of poison that does not affect zombies.

The final new mechanic is Magic Mirrors, these Magic Mirrors function similarly to the portals in Portal Combat. Projectiles fired into one mirror will be "absorbed" by it and fired out of another linked mirror, likewise any zombie that walks through one mirror will exit through the other.

In the secret realms, hard mode can only be accessed by completing all levels in normal mode for a respective part (ex: all levels in part one of the Fairy Tale Forest must be completed to unlock the hard mode for part one). The individual levels can then be unlocked with keys given daily and each of these hard mode levels has three optional objectives. By completing these objectives, the player will earn purple stars and magic mirrors, for part one and two respectively, which are used to obtain items and puzzle pieces from the Secret Rewards shop.

Trivia

• On certain devices during the v2.9.2 update, a glitch could occur where once the Magic Fog entered the lawn for the second time during a level, all zombies within the fog would become hypnotized rather than gain Magic Shields.
• In the levels of Hard Mode, the level titles show a short sentence instead of "Fairytale Forest - Day X".
• Before the v2.9.6 update, there was a bug where the Magic Fog could be skipped through the spamming of the next wave button. This has been fixed in an unknown update.
  • However, the next wave button can still be used to skip Magic Wind, although this is largely a disadvantage to the player outside of levels with multiple Magic Fog types, where it can be used to prevent stronger Fog from appearing entirely.
• The plants of this secret realm are classified as Monthly Special plants in-game, however, they are classified as part of this secret realm on the Official Website's Galaxy.
• Despite being a Secret Realm, which divides it from being an actual world, it is strongly considered as a world.
  • The Official Website classifies it as a world after Underwater World.
  • It has a Zombot made for it, whose plot is Dr. Zomboss creating the Fairytale Zombot after the showdown with Steam Zombot in Steam Ages, even prior to the events of the showdown with the Zombot Troupe Manipulator in Renaissance Ages.
  • It has its own Endless Challenge, alongside its own exclusive world island present in the practice zone of Endless Challenge.
  • It has a considerate amount of plants tied to it, being six plants, including a plant who acts as a tool against the main gimmick of this secret realm, the Magic Fog, that being Heath Seeker.
