# Secret events
Cal.com offers you the possibility of creating secret events also known as **hidden** events. A hidden event is a bookable appointment that can only be accessed via a private link. By default, this means that a hidden event won't show up on your Cal.com booking page. Hidden events are just like regular events in that they can occur in-person, over the phone, or via video chat. Hidden events are a handy tool to use as part of your scheduling infrastructure arsenal. Since they don't show up on your main booking page, they are ideal for meetings of a sensitive nature or personal nature.
You can use hidden events for everything from auditioning talent to organizing surprise parties or hosting breakaway rooms at virtual conferences. You can easily share the hidden event type by copying the URL and then sharing via email, sms or any other form of communication.
To learn how to create a secret event, please take a look at the guide for [Creating a secret event type](/docs/how-to-guides/creating-a-secret-event-type.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://calcom.gitbook.io/docs/core-features/event-types/secret-events.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
