PICS: Maisie Williams crashed these students’ Game of Thrones party and made their night

Drinks and snacks are coming.

Game of Thrones returned to TV screens for a sixth season last night (no spoilers here, don’t worry), much to the excitement of the show’s millions of fans around the globe.

It was such a big deal that fans of the show held Game of Thrones viewing parties to make an event of its return and one the show’s stars, Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), was keen to get in on the act.

While in LA on Sunday night, Williams put out a tweet looking for a UCLA viewing party that she could randomly turn up at and surprise guests with drinks and snacks.

ANY @UCLA STUDENTS HAVING A VIEWING PARTY TONIGHT? TWEET A PICTURE OF YOUR PARTY USING #GameofThrones  FOR A SURPRISE 😱

THE #GameofThrones TEAM WILL BE SENDING OUT GOODIE BAGS TO A SPECIAL VIEWING PARTY TONIGHT AT 8:30PM…

…IF YOU'RE IN THE LA AREA, AND WANT TO BE IN WITH A CHANCE OF GETTING PICKED, SEND YOUR 'SETTING UP' PARTY PICTURES TO #GameofThrones

She then documented the entire episode on her Instagram page and by the looks of things, she had a grand time at what appeared to be a civilised affair; it was certainly no Red Wedding that’s for sure.

(1/12) This commences my photo story. Earlier today I put this out to everyone on Twitter… I wanted to find some unsuspecting fans and surprise them with drinks and snacks before the premiere episode tonight…

(2/12) I found a couple, Mark and Kate, film students, who were throwing a party at their apartment, with a few friends. So at 8pm we left the hotel to go get snacks.

(3/12) We saw (on Twitter) that Mark and Kate had already made Game of Thrones themed snacks, and decorated their apartment, but who doesn’t love extra popcorn and crisps?

(5/12) We could hear the party inside so we had to be REALLY quiet!

(6/12) Firstly, I met Mark. The buzzer was broken so Mark came down to let us in. After exhaling a “HOLY SHIT!”, we hugged it out and he helped us inside.

(7/12) Mark and I devised a cunning plan. He would enter first declaring that they had won the GoT swag (this was a ploy we made up to throw people off the scent) and I would follow after hoping and praying that everyone would actually recognise me.

(8/12) My favourite part is how excited they sound to win the swag, little did they know, I was just around the corner…

(9/12) They had the coolest Game of Thrones decorations, but this was my favourite. My money’s on dead, it seems I’m outnumbered.

(10/12) I went there to surprise them with snacks, but when I got there, I found myself trying one of every single snack they had made.

(11/12) They were catching up on the last episode of Season 5 when I went in, and we all giggled nervously as we took pictures during the famous “shame” scene. I had the most amazing time, everyone was so welcoming and excited… Thanks to Mark, Kate and company for having us in your lovely flat. Enjoy the rest of Season 6.

You’re more than welcome at an Irish Game of Thrones viewing party any time Maisie; see you for the finale, perhaps?
