Code not working, no clue why

So here's my code:

var correctGuess = false;
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1;
var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. What is it?');
if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) {
  correctGuess = true;
} else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber ) { 
  var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number im thinking of is more than ' + guess);
  if (parseInt(guessMore === randomNumber) {
      correctGuess = true; 
  }
} else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) { 
var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number im thinking of is Less than ' + guess);
  if (parseInt(guessLess === randomNumber) { 
      correctGuess = true; 
  }
}
if ( correctGuess ) {
    document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
} else {
  document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>');
}

and it's not working. Tried debugging and everything, im at a loss.

You're missing some parentheses.

On this line, you need another closing parenthesis to complete the call to parseInt:

  if (parseInt(guessMore === randomNumber) {

And you have the exact same issue a few lines down where you're dealing with guessLess.
