Thanks.

It says it can't find the file.
Does a file

C:\Users\John Doe\Desktop\WODDS\WODDS\gamelib\data\up-1.png

actually exist? And is it readable by the user running the program?

Are you running it from the same directory?

No, you need to set up the correct environment for the game 
to run before calling subprocess.

However as I and others have pointed out this is almost 
certainly the wrong way to approach your problem, even if 
you can get it to work! You would be better putting the game 
code into a function in Utilities.py and then importing that into 
your menu module. You can then call the game function
using

import Utilities

# menu code here

Utilities.startGame()

And so that you can still ru n it as Utilities.py add a clause 
at the end of IUtilities.py like

if __name__ == "__main__":
    startGame()


HTH,
