Expected "Player 1: 5; Player 2: 2". Got "Player1: 5; Player2: 2".

This is an error message that I got. I'm going to try and put spaces between Player and 1 and hope that it fixes it.

game_str.py 
from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):
  def __str__(self):
    return "Player 1: {}; Player2: {}".format(self.score[0], self.score[1])

Your only problem is spacing in the string. There should be a space between "Player" and each of the numbers 1 and 2.

You can do it with tuple.

from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):

  def __str__(self):
    return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(*self.score)
