Let me guess, the menu script is in different directory than the game
script? The current working directory is thus pointing to the menu's
directory instead of script's.

Two possible fix is to 1) move the menu script to the game's script
directory or 2) pass cwd="" argument to subprocess.Popen

However, as others have said, both of them are the WRONG approach to
your problem... since both scripts are python scripts, both under your
control, and most importantly both scripts are integrated part of a
unity (i.e. the game); it will be MUCH easier to import the game script
and call the function that started the game.
