Puzzle Piece
- For the Puzzle Pieces seen in Plants vs. Zombies Online, see Backpack (PvZO).

Puzzle Pieces are items available in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. Ten of a kind are needed to unlock the plants they are used to obtain. Plant costumes are also obtained by collecting Puzzle Pieces. They also appear in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars. Every plant in both games so far has its own Puzzle Piece.

Puzzle pieces currently do not have any use.

Trivia
