Unfortunately for many Game of Thrones fans, they will not always be able to tune into the premiere of the latest episodes from the show's eighth and final season—yet a few local streaming services in Sweden, Telia Play and HBO Nordic, teamed up to help people avoid Game of Thrones spoilers.
While there are browser extensions and apps to help fans avoid accidentally seeing spoilers on the Internet, it can be much more difficult to avoid having the show ruined in real life when everyone is talking about the show's events. The Game of Thrones Anti-Spoiler Kit consists of a series of numbered pins that can be worn after viewing an episode of the show, which helps others in close proximity determine what they should or shouldn't say for the sake of other fans.
