Gnome challenges are an activity in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. They can be found in the Free-Roam Regions. Gnome Challenges can be found by first shooting at a hidden button, which then causes a Gnomolith to appear. The Gnomolith is how you start the gnome challenge, and you start it by giving it 10 of the local currency of the region. When gnome challenges are completed, they will give you either a Golden Gnome or a Diamond Gnome.

Gnome challenges are divided into five types: puzzles, battles, balance challenges, defense challenges, and catch the gnome.

Puzzles  (Conjectural)

In puzzles, the player needs to complete a puzzle. For golden gnome challenges, two, four, or six gnome platforms will appear. These platforms have a different symbol on each of their four sides. When activated, the platforms will rotate. To complete the challenge and earn the golden gnome, the player must match all the symbols by making every adjacent platform show the same symbol on the sides that face each other.

Each region has a different diamond gnome puzzle. In Town Center, the player must create four shapes out of shadows that can be rotated by pulling levers. In Mount Steep, the player must complete a puzzle in which a beam of light must be shot between different platforms to reach the end. In Weirding Woods, the player must complete four puzzles where they must turn on or off different glowing stones depending on which should be activated.

Battles  (Conjectural)

In battles, the player must defeat a certain amount of gnome enemies to earn the golden gnome. There are 4 sections to these challenges: 3 sections where 5 gnomes must be defeated, and a section where a champion Shooty Gnome must be defeated. You have a short amount of starting time, but defeating gnomes earns you extra time to complete the challenge.

In diamond gnome challenges, there is usually a difficult boss to defeat. In Town Center, there is the Unyielding Gnight, which must be defeated by first defeating a champion Shooty Gnome, then standing on a symbol to earn increased damage. In Weirding Woods, there is the Bombing Gnight, where you must avoid 2 invincible Explody Gnomes that send you out of the area. In Mount Steep, there is the Mimic Gnight, which, every 1/4 of damage, turns into a bomb that must be placed in a specific area to continue the fight.

Balance Challenges  (Conjectural)

In balance challenges, the player must balance on platforms to reach a golden gnome. The gnome will move several times until you reach the real one.

Defense Challenges  (Conjectural)

In defense challenges, the player must destroy Explody Gnomes before they reach a ring that the player must protect. The player must survive for a certain amount of time while doing so.

Catch the Gnome  (Conjectural)

In catch the gnome, similar to balance challenges, the player must catch the golden gnome. It will change locations many times until the player finally reaches it.
