Hi there! You're doing great. Challenges can be extremely strict. In this case, you've simply forgotten an exclamation point at the end. The string in the alert should be "I DID IT!". Add an exclamation point, and this challenge should pass.

Good luck! :sparkles:

The computer is telling me this:

You didn't call the alert() function inside the shout.js file.
