Android NullPointerException when switching Activitys

I created a custom SurfaceView for a game I'm making, and I am attempting to make a button that will switch to a new activity. Here's the current activity:

public class Game extends Activity{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(new GameView(this));
    }


    public void returnToMenu(View view) {
        Intent returnToMenuIntent = new Intent(this, Menu.class);
        startActivity(returnToMenuIntent);
    }
}

And here's the call in the SurfaceView:

private void handleButtonPress(x, y){
    if(pressWithinRange(x, y){
        game.returnToMenu(this);
    }
}

However, whenever I press the button, I get this error message:

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
