Hi Adil, you are trying to set property inside an object. 'function' cant be a property name, as this is reserved word in Javascript environment.

Try this instead:

const player1 = {
  name: 'adil',
  color: 'blue',
  isTurn: true,
  lestPlay: function() {
    play()
  }
}

Hi Adil, now I have checked the challenge:

try this:

const player1 = {
  name: 'adil',
  color: 'blue',
  isTurn: true,
  play: function() {}
}
