Forbidden Fortress (Team Build)

Forbidden Fortress is the 11th world in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that, as its name suggests, takes place in a fortress, more specifically a castle in the late middle ages. It was released in January 24th, 2023, and is unlocked after Jurassic Marsh. 
This world features a gate door, where in each level, the gate door can close, accumulating zombies trying to get into the level. After a while, it opens, releasing a horde of the undead. You can also destroy the door for a while when its closed, immediately releasing the accumulated zombies. The destroyed door gets replaced by special invincible zombies after 30 seconds.
This world's environment modifiers (aside from the gate) are booby traps. These booby traps will appear randomly throughout the level, and there are 4 types. There's the guillotine blade, which will fall from the sky randomly and onto a tile, destroying any plant on said tile, a boulder, which will roll down a random lane, knocking all plants it hits into different lanes, an iron maiden, which will take the first plant in a column and destroy the plant, and spikes, which will occasionally appear on random tiles, staying for a random amount of time and slowly dealing damage to plants on the tiles the spikes are on.
On the final wave, the torches turn blue and the lawn becomes darker. Once this happens, sun will stop falling from the sky.
==Ambush ==
The Ambush in this world is "Rollout!" where a boulder will roll down 3 random lanes. If a boulder knocks a plant onto a tile a plant is already on, the plant knocked by the boulder will be destroyed.
==Origins==
Forbidden Fortress takes place in the late Middle Ages in the 1300s, unlike Dark Ages, which would've taken place over 300 years earlier. It also shares elements of castle dungeons and chess games with some of its Zombies.

===Brain Buster===
This world’s exclusive Brain Buster is Chess Chase. This Brain Buster is similar to a game of chess. Here, you’ll try to get your plant pieces to the other side of the lawn by tapping on a plant and moving it to the tile it’s area of movement shows. You have to select 6 plants to act as your Pawns, Knights, Rooks, Bishops, King and Queen piece. Each side will take a turn moving their pieces. When a plant piece or a zombie piece crosses over the opposing piece, they will be destroyed and captured. Your goal is to capture the zombie king piece. If you lose all of your pieces or a zombie piece reaches your side of the board, you’ll lose. 
This Brain Buster is encountered on Day 7, Day 19, and Day 27.
=== Endless Zone===
The Endless zone of the Forbidden Fortress is Dungeons of Doom, which is unlocked after obtaining the key given upon completing Day 20.
