I don't understand why this is wrong
const player1 = {
name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
if(this.isTurn) {
return $[player1.name] + "is now playing!"
}
}
}

:
return `${this.name} is now playing!`
But this challenge asks for bracket notation which looks slightly different from template literals. You also want to use this['name']
and not player1['name']
since you are using from inside the class. Here's my solution which passed:
const player1 = {
name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
if (this.isTurn) {
return this['name'] + " is now playing!"
}
}
}
