Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game - Step 57

For some reason i can’t get past step 57 regarding the ‘‘button functions’’, even though I’ve checked the answer so it should be right. When I click ‘‘Check your code’’ it says:
''Sorry, your code does not pass. Try again.

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token, expected “,” (28:0) 26 | 27 | // initialize buttons > 28 | button1.onclick = goStore; | ^ 29 | button2.onclick = goCave; 30 | button3.onclick = fightDragon; 31 |‘’

Anyone knows what I’m doing wrong?

This is what i’ve typed:

name: "town square",
"button text": ["Go to store", "Go to cave", "Fight dragon"],
"button functions": [goStore, goCave, fightDragon]

When you get an error like this which indicates a problem with the code after what you’re editing // initialize buttons > 28 it usually means you forgot some punctuation to end that section of code.

In this case, you never close the locations array
