Python Django REST Framework Security and Customization Validate Field

Please assist, challenge not passing.

This challenge is not passing and i'm not completely sure why.

I have a reputation(to myself) for missing obvious bits of code so please be patient with me.

scorekeeper/serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers

from . import models


class GameSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = ('id', 'name')
        model = models.Game


class PlayerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'age')
        model = models.Player

    def validate_age(self, age):
        if age > 13:
            return age
        raise serializer.ValidationError(
            'Age must age must be 13 or over')


class ScoreSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    game = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
        read_only=True, view_name='apiv2:game-detail')
    player = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
        read_only=True, view_name='apiv2:player-detail')

    class Meta:
        fields = ('id', 'game', 'player', 'score')
        model = models.Score

You have a typo here: raise serializer.ValidationError It must be serializers.ValidationError with an "s" at the end.

The challenge tells you to exclude kids younger than 13 which mean kids equal to 13 is also allowed to join.
