> It’s a bit like the way everyone gravitates towards the kitchen at a house party.

I've solved this problem by dimming or turning off the lights in all the rooms I don't want people to hang out in and having brighter lighting in the room I want people to stay in. It works wonders.

People gravitate toward other people at parties, and if the light's off and nobody's in the room, there's not much incentive to go in.

If there's too many people in my designated area, yes, but not otherwise.
