Why does this not change the part's attributes when a certain message is chatted?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
        if msg == ":open" then
            game.Part.Transparency = 1
            game.Part.CanCollide = false
        elseif msg == ":close" then
            game.Part.Transparency = 0
            game.Part.CanCollide = true
        end
    end)
end)

There is only one object called Part in the workspace.

game.Part

Part isn't a child of game. I think you mean

game.Workspace.Part

In Lua, you always go from broad to specific. You can't go directly from very broad to very specific, you must put the complete path to the object, starting at the broadest possible (game) and getting more and more specific until you find Part.
