I've been one of their customer since I'm in Doha and having my daughter's party at DQ also. I knew that staffs never close the play area and that was open for every kids. They just close it with chairs on the area where the party is, so that other kids will not go and enter their party. Who amongst you here likes to be entered by other kids not invite to your party? Guess no one likes...and I've heard what really happen that night was, the kid is playing and was stocked at the tunnel while the party is going on and nobody hears it because of the loud crowd and there goes the lady yelling to stop the music. The one who writes this news is not having the right info. The kid was exactly playing at the play area that is why the boy have been crying because he was stocked and don't know how to crawl up in which the tunnel has a ladder inside. I think, it wasn't the fault of DQ staffs. Just that incident happen and all was a victim.
