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;
alert('This is true');
} else {
alert("This is false, it ia actually "+ randomNumber);

Another problem I notice is that the problem asks you to add a boolean to the condition of the if statement. Your code in plain text above does this, but in the code block below (which looks like the actual code being error-checked) you only have one if statement, and the condition does not contain a boolean.

1,517 PointsThank you Sara, you we're right!
I simplified the code and it accepted the "true" boolean.
