It looks like you are using livewires and you have paraphrased your code. It's helpful if you copy and paste the exact code you have tried and any error message you get.

Looking at livewires.games.py I see

class Message(Text):

    def __init__ (self, screen, x, y, text, size, color,
                  a=0, dx=0, dy=0, da=0,
                  lifetime=0, after_death=None):

so I would try something like this:

def gameOver(self):
   text = “""Your Score is  %s
Thank you for playing
Please come again""“ % Game.score_value
    games.Message(x = 400, y = 400, text = text,
            size = 60, color = color.green,
            lifetime = 1000, after_death = self.screen.quit())
