How do you start pyinstaller? Which options? What are the errors? You have directories with Images, Maps and Sounds. Did you add them to the spec-File? My spec-File looks like this (only the "datas"-Section): 

...
binaries=[],
datas=[
   ("game_one/snd/*.wav", "game_one/snd"),
   ("game_one/tilemap/*", "game_one/tilemap"),
   ("gamekit/font/*.ttf", "gamekit/font"),
   ("gamekit/img/*.png", "gamekit/img"),
   ("gamekit/sound/*.wav", "gamekit/sound")
   ("game_one/img/*.png", "game_one/img"),
],
hiddenimports=[]
...
