Struggling to get my code for the final room to finish the text-based game assigned to me. I essentially want the player to be forced to get all 6 items prior to entry. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have tried looking at similar projects from others, can't get that part right. The rest of the game functions appropriately, so this is my last big hill to get over.
How can I have my if condition within a while loop break the loop and end the game?

- Use
None and not the strings players can append the strings with any name. I was able to add "nothing" to my inventory and complete the game!
- Remove
"the" from the names to compare properly
"==" returns True ONLY if it exactly matches.
For eg: "the Queen's Chamber" == "Queen's Chamber" returns False.- You were comparing the length of a string to
"6" a string. len returns integer type.
Note: Try debugging yourself too using debuggers present in text editors like VS Code. You will face many such problems when you code
# Remove "the" from the names to compare properly
# Use none and not strings players can append the strings with any name
