What File Do MacOS Game Players Look For To Start?

I obviously do not own a Mac. I was wandering what file do the Mac users click on to start up the game? I have deployed a MacOS version and trying to give playing instructions.

Thanks,

Sorry for necro posting on this, but I figured It would be a good Idea to answer this in case others have the same question. As mac and windows work differently, and in the case of this, on windows, deploying for Mac will give you everything in a folder structure, on Mac, Game.app, that we see as a folder, in mac, is the application. Mac users will click on that. I don't fully understand the why behind it all, I dont own a mac to work on. Nor do I have the time and patience to get an approximation running with BSD ect.

With a little fiddling, you can release a single package that will allow both mac, and windows users to play the game, without needing to host two copies of the game. Essentially just releasing the game with both the mac and windows binaries together.
