Hello! so i think that my code should actually be correct but whenever i try to pass the step it tells me “SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected character ‘“’. (20:6) 18 | const monsterHealthText = document.querySelector(”#monsterHealth"); 19 | const locations = [{ > 20 | name: “town square”, | ^ 21 | “button text”: [“Go to store”, “Go to cave”, “Fight dragon”] 22 | } 23 | ];"

i tried looking at the console as well but i don’t really understand what it says there…

Your code so far

It looks like you have a few smart quotes here, which raise a syntax error in JavaScript.
This can happen when you copy/paste from elsewhere into your code.
Change them all to regular double quotes and your code should pass.
