Where occasions come from

An occasion is recorded with the booking, not the game: staff set the reason at check-in, and older bookings carry the group type chosen when booking online. 77% of logged games have one, so these figures cover a part of all games, not all of them.

Before 2026 most occasions came from the online booking form; in 2026 almost all are set by staff. Comparing years would show that change in who recorded the occasion, not a change in why people book, so the figures here are all time only.

Fun is a real occasion: groups who came along just for the fun of it. Times dated outside a room’s run are left out of the fastest escapes, as on every leaderboard here.
