create a getHighestDuplicates function which takes an array of numbers.

Sounds like it needs to take an array as a parameter.

Hi there!
You are calling the function within event listener call back function. The instructions is asked you different things to do. Read the instructions carefully and remember you need to add your new code in empty line on the challenge editor, just before your rollDiceBtn event listener.

Thank you both for the tips. I got it working eventually. Just not sure, as I said, why functionally it was working fine in my local environment. I suppose behind the scenes the testing was a bit stricter. Nonetheless thanks
