## Type Declaration

### startPassage?

> `optional` **startPassage**: [`PassageTarget`](PassageTarget.md)

The passage the game opens on.

Accepts a passage instance (`Story`, `InteractiveMap`, `Widget`, or
any other `Passage`) or the id of a registered passage. The passage
may register after `Game.init()`; navigation waits for it.

#### Example

```typescript
import { intro } from './game/stories/intro';

await Game.init({ gameName: 'My Game', startPassage: intro });
await Game.init({ gameName: 'My Game', startPassage: 'intro' });
```
