I'm new to Python and Pygame and I programmed a little game and tried to implement a pause menu. While I can get to the pause menu I can't get out of it. I followed a tutorial by sentdex and changed the code a bit to my liking. I'm working with Python-Idle but I don't get any error messages there either so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

You need to replace type with key here: if event.type == pygame.K_ESCAPE:.
You also don't need the global paused variable, just stay in the pause function until the user presses escape and then simply return from the function.
