Hi there, the technical aspect of your code is correct, however, since the challenges here are very picky, it failed since you missed a space after the semicolon in the string you are returning. Here is what it should look like:

from game import Game
class GameScore(Game):
  pass
  def __str__(self):
    return 'Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}'.format(*self.score)  #missed space after semicolon

Thanks,

Haider
