The final season of "Game of Thrones" is coming, and Phoenix fans have joined forces on Reddit to brace for its arrival.

One fan's quest to organize a watch party for the season's April 14 premier snowballed into a community effort after strangers responded to her post in a Phoenix subreddit with offers to pitch in food, beer and even their own backyards.

Emma George said in a post to the r/Phoenix subreddit that she wanted to organize a watch party for like-minded fans of the HBO series to meet and make friends. Her place was "a little cramped" to host, so she asked Redditors for their suggestions.

Two days later, with a little help from the Reddit community, she has a venue. Verdura, a new vegan restaurant in Uptown Phoenix, will host a Game of Thrones watch party, said co-owner Julia Chugerman.

George, who moved to Phoenix last year, told The Republic she organized similar watch parties when she lived in Los Angeles, “whether it was Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Walking Dead — back when it was good.”

But she never expected this watch party to take off so quickly, much less on Reddit.

In just two days, George's Reddit post received more than 100 upvotes and dozens of comments. People had some big ideas.

Plans started falling into place when some of the r/Phoenix moderators, who manage the forum, stepped in to help.

Phoenix moderator UGetOffMyLawn suggested that Chugerman — who recently opened Verdura with a large projector screen — host the party.

She agreed, and now the watch party is coming.

Chugerman, told The Republic that Verdura will host watch parties for the rest of the final season. Their chef will whip up some Game of Thrones-themed vegan food and drink to boot.

"Myself and my business partner Chris are huge fans of Game of Thrones," she said. "We wanted to give back to the community in a different way than most restaurants usually do."

With less than a month left until the big day, George said roughly 40 people have already expressed interest in showing up.

It's a far cry from the gathering of a dozen "super nerds" George said she was expecting when she posted the Reddit callout.

"I didn’t think it was going to get this big," she said. "Apparently it was a way better idea than I thought it was.”
