MANILA, Philippines – Maisie Williams, aka Arya Stark on Game of Thrones, once pranked customers at a gaming store to give out awesome freebies. Now, she has turned up as a special guest at a viewing party organized by a bunch of unsuspecting fans.
Before season 6 premiered in the US on April 24, Sunday (April 25 in Manila), Maisie sent an exciting announcement via Twitter, looking for viewing parties near the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). (READ: 'Game of Thrones' season 6 premiere recap: 'The Red Woman')

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>{/source}
The university's Twitter also made a witty announcement: "Is 'No One' in Westeroswood?"

"No One" is a reference to the Faceless Men, which Arya is currently in the company of in Braavos, and "Westeroswood" is Westwood, UCLA's neighborhood, and Westeros combined in one name.
Maisie documented the fun occasion in a series of Instagram posts.
"I wanted to find some unsuspecting fans and surprise them with drinks and snacks before the premiere episode tonight," she wrote in her first post.

It happened that Marc and Kate Patterson, film students, were throwing a party with friends at their apartment – with themed food to boot.
