NSArray of NSDictionay syntax question

I am currently having a go at my first iOS app.

Xcode tells me it expects an expression where I put the closing brackets. Though when I look at the Apple developer documentation, from what I can see this is the proper way to do it. Obviously Iā€™m wrong. Could anyone point out to me exactly what Iā€™m doing wrong?

Here is a sample of the code I've written. The full code has more dictionaries following the same template.

NSDictionary *theMoose = @{

                           @"The Moose": @"title",
                           @"a description" : @"challengeDescription",
                           @"theMoose1.png, theMoose2.png, theMoose3.png": @"animation", nil:

                        };



challenges = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: theMoose, nil];

With literals you do not need to nil terminate.

NSDictionary *theMoose = @{
                           @"The Moose": @"title",
                           @"a description" : @"challengeDescription",
                           @"theMoose1.png, theMoose2.png, theMoose3.png": @"animation"
                        };
