Hey Ava Jones , there is a simple typo: a missing close paren on the previous line 18.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Now it is saying that Game has no attribute used_locations

Hi! In the assignment to available_locations there is a reference to the non-existing attribute self.used_locations. I think you meant the local variable used_locations (without the self. prefix)

One change at a time. Change

# change
available_locations = set(self.locations) - set(self.used_locations)

# to
available_locations = set(self.locations) - set(used_locations)
