User input with spaces (in batch)

hello i'm making a basic text based adventure game in windows batch, i cant have spaces in user input.

my code is:

:quest1
cls
echo MUM: %PlayerName%, your breakfast is ready!!!
set /p PlayerInput1=">"

if %PlayerInput1%=="look around" echo you are in your bedroom upstairs in your house, in %PlayerHome%

with PlayerInput1 i want the user to input look around but when i try to run it it said: around=="look around" was unexpected at this time

how do i fix this

if "%PlayerInput1%" =="look around" (echo "you are in your bedroom upstairs in your house, in" "%PlayerHome%")

You forget the quotes in if "%PlayerInput1%", and echo don't need to be between() but is a good practice. *Thanks to @Dennisvagils *

Put string between your variavle too :

set /p "PlayerInput1=^> "

if "%PlayerInput1%"=="look around" echo you are in your bedroom upstairs in your house, in %PlayerHome%
