A few issues here:

  1. Plate is a misspelled word.
  2. return String needs proper spacing to be in exact match w/ what the grader is looking for.
  3. if you just pass in self.score as argument to format(), the content of this tuple will NOT get unpacked.

Here's the correct version.

from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):
    def __str__(self):
        return 'Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}'.format(**self.score)

Hope it helps.
