Why there is a syntax error in my Number game app?

it keeps saying there is a syntax error on else: (the one under except valueerror)

def game(): 
    import random
    secret_num = random.randint(1,8)    
    while len(nums) < 5:
        try: 
            num = int(input("what's your guess? "))
        except ValueError:
            print("{} is not an integar! ".format(num)
        else:
            if num == secret_num:
                print("Congrats! The number is {}".format(secret_num))
                break
            else:
                too_low()
                too_high()
            nums.append(num)
    else:
        print("You didn't get it ! The number is {} !".format(secret_num))
    play_again = input("Do you want to have another go? y/n ")
    if play_again.lower() == y:
        game()
    else:
        print("bye for now!")

On that line, it looks like you are missing a closing parenthesis. That would definitely cause a syntax error message.

Post back if you are still stuck and happy coding.
