s&box has no fixed game selection: which gamemode runs on your server is defined by the package ident of a game mode from sbox.game.
Find the package ident
Every gamemode on sbox.game has an address following the pattern sbox.game/<organisation>/<package>. You build the ident by replacing the slash with a dot.
| Address on sbox.game | Package ident |
|---|---|
sbox.game/facepunch/sandbox |
facepunch.sandbox |
sbox.game/wpr/ttt |
wpr.ttt |
Change the gamemode permanently

Switch the gamemode while the server is running
You can also switch the gamemode live via the server console in the dashboard:
game facepunch.sandbox
What happens during a switch?
The server automatically downloads the gamemode along with all required content from the cloud and stores it in the /download/ folder. That makes the first start of a new gamemode take a little longer.
