Put pass inside of GameScore since Python wants some code to be inside of the Class for it to run the code. Should look like this:

from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):
  pass

thanks Samuel didnt realise it was expecting pass.

No problem. Any type of code that requires a colon after it, usually requires that some code be inside of it. This includes classes, functions, loops, etc. Using pass in that way lets you setup your class and function names without actually putting the code you want to run inside of them. Its very handy.
