Looks like you are missing a curly brace.

you dont need the "===" because the value of what you are checking is a boolean, they are also asking you to use 'this' instead of player1. In step 2 they want you use 'return' not console.log and they want you to use bracket notation.

const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if(this.isTurn){
        return this['name'] +" is now playing!";
         }
    }
}

the code

if(this.isTurn) implies if(this.isTurn === true) so it is an unnessisry bit of code.
