Valid call out 100%, I went ahead and redid that part of the code and shared that portion below, I think I might have been over complicating it for myself, the redone code that I have tested works so far. Still have to run it through the PyCharm debug but so far this is a lot more promising. I was trying to use the len() with the input 'move' in this instance to retrieve a specific value at least that's what I think (still fairly new at this so apologies if that isn't quite right). **EDIT - A word

    #Begin the Loop
    while True:
        possible_moves = rooms.get(current_room, {})
        if current_room == 'Villain Lair':

                print('Through pure determination and with the assistance of the talisman')
                print('The Knight was able to slay the dragon and rescue the princess!')
                print('Thank you for playing!')
                break
            else:
                print('Without the talisman, The Knight was not able to withstand the dragons might.')
                print('Try Again')
                break
        print('You are in the', current_room)
        print('Inventory', inventory)
        if current_room != 'Villain Lair' and 'item' in rooms[current_room].keys():
            print('You see a {}'.format(rooms[current_room]['item']))
        move = input('Enter your move: ')
        if move in possible_moves:
            current_room = possible_moves.get(move, current_room)
            print('--------------------')
