Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I have used your code to access simple file where under GameScenarios folder, and I could access file successfully. If you view file not found exception, please check if your file's build action is content.(right click the file -> properties -> build action). And you need also to check if gameFileName is correct.

Thank you.
