Game of Thrones' sixth season premiered in the US last night, and there were some fans who made an event of the show's much anticipated return by hosting viewing parties. While that already sounds like a great night in, it got even better for some lucky UCLA students who were paid a visit by none other than Maisie Williams. 

The once and future Arya Stark documented her escapades on Instagram, and it makes for some fun reading. Check it out below...

(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...

(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?

(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.

(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.

(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.

It's safe to say that it's not truly a Game of Thrones party until Arya Stark turns up with some drinks and snacks...

Season 6 of Game of Thrones airs Sundays on HBO in the US, and Sky Atlantic on Mondays in the UK.
