URGENT: Line doesnt have a matching?

Creator's Corner
1

hey ya’ll me again :expressionless: this time I am tryna figure out whats wrong with my script. so basically it says that there is a line missing on line 13 (where the start are at)
Yeah so if anyone can fix this that would be amazing. so what I am trying to do is get the 5 seconds choice to be locked so you can’t access it at all, and the 10 second choice to take you to the end of the story. then the 20 second one takes you to the next scene (bar) I kinda suck at goto’s and stuff so please help :pensive:

@andreea_c its still saying that line 10 doesn’t have a matching :confused:

choice
< LOCKED > “5 seconds” {
goto label wash_hands
readerMessage Sorry that option is not available

} “10 Seconds” {
sound wrong_buzz
readerMessge O.o
goto ep1_end

} “20 seconds” {
sound ding
readerMessage Yay! you made the right choice
goto lable bar_correct

}

IGNORE THE SPACES IN BETWEEN THE < > AND THE LOCKED IT’S JUST SO IT APPEARS.

At the beginning you should include the word choice before the “Go bond somewhere private”.
And from the portion you’ve sent it looks like there’s one extra } at the end. Are there any other choices/ conditions before this part?
