what's wrong with my code?

I'm a bit confused what's wrong with it?

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if(this.isTurn){
       var namePlayer = this.name;
        return namePlayer;

      }
    }
}

I don't see anything wrong with your code currently. You can provide more information into the issues you are having so we have a good context of your problem. However, I feel you can make you work more concise by using return this.name or even replace the var keyword with the block scoped const keyword.

They want you to concatenate " is now playing" to what youre returning from the play function, so...

const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if(this.isTurn){
       var namePlayer = this.name;
        return namePlayer + " is now playing";

      }
    }
}
