Game doesn't run locally

I downloaded my workspace. It runs on the treehouse environment, but when I tried to run it locally I get this error:

Tatianas-MacBook-Pro% python game.py
Name: tatiana
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "game.py", line 91, in <module>
    Game()
  File "game.py", line 73, in __init__
    self.setup()
  File "game.py", line 11, in setup
    self.player = Character()
  File "/Users/tatianaperry/Downloads/project/character.py", line 33, in __init__
    self.name = input("Name: ")
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'tatiana' is not defined

Make sure you are running Python 3 which interprets all input as strings. If you're running Python 2, try entering "tatiana" (with quotation marks)
