It looks like they want you to use mixins instead of ModelViewSet for the GameViewSet so that you can exclude the delete functionality.

If you take a quick look at this video you should see something similar being done: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/django-rest-framework/make-the-rest-framework-work-for-you/customizing-viewsets

The Viewsets example that is linked to in the challenge also shows you what needs to be done to GameViewSet.
