Arguments over who solved it first

Wait… a newspaper
with no news?

Yep. You already have enough news.

So we thought, what if a newspaper didn't tell you what's happening in the world, and gave you something to do instead? Something to scribble on, fold, pass across the table, argue about, laugh over, and leave next to your coffee cup.

So what do I actually
do with it?

You open it. That's step one. Then it gets easier from there.

01

Open it

No login screen in the way.

02

Find something interesting

A crossword, a strange logic puzzle, a word game, or something you've never seen.

03

Grab a pen

Any pen. Preferably one that's been missing since March.

04

Start

Twenty minutes vanish, in the nicest possible way.

It's not really about
the puzzles.

O

kay, it is partly about the puzzles. We like good puzzles. But that's not really why we're doing this. The point is what happens around the puzzle. You sit down. You slow down. You think. You doodle. You get stuck. You solve something. You feel unnecessarily proud of yourself. You hand it to someone else. They get it wrong. You pretend not to enjoy that.

That's the good stuff

Welcome to your new
daily ritual.

Same chai. Same couch. One small swap in the middle.

The usual weekend

  • Wake up, check your phone
  • Scroll. Check messages. Scroll again.
  • Open Instagram for "five minutes"
  • 47 minutes later: watching a man restore a 1987 toaster

With a newspaper on the table

  • Wake up, chai in hand
  • Open The Weekend Times instead
  • Get stuck on a clue, refuse to admit it
  • One newspaper. One pen. Zero need to refresh.

What's inside?

…and many more.

And yes, you're allowed
to write on it.

Actually… please do.

Circle things. Cross things out. Write terrible guesses. Draw arrows everywhere.

↖ "how is this possible?"

The newspaper isn't supposed to stay pristine. It's supposed to become yours.

This is for you if…

Tick the ones that sound like you.

But why a newspaper?

Because paper stays. Everything else disappears.

Everything you don't own

Your favourite playlist, gone the day you stop paying. Your shows, gone when the subscription ends. Your photos, somewhere on a cloud you rent, not own.

The one thing you do

A notification disappears. A reel disappears. A saved post vanishes into "I'll look at it later." But paper stays on the table, folds at the corner, and turns up six months later.

Why pay for something
I could find online?

Fair question. And honestly, you probably can find individual puzzles online.

  • You can't Google your way into opening a newspaper on a quiet morning
  • You can't download the smell of newsprint
  • You can't scroll a crossword across the dinner table
  • You can't hand your phone to a friend and say "okay, you solve this"

You're not buying a crossword. You're buying the hour around it.

Who made this thing?

One person who thought newspapers were getting a little too serious.

This isn't a big editorial team behind glass doors. It's one person who loves the old world of print, the weird headlines, the tiny illustrations, the crossword tucked somewhere in the middle, the coffee-stained pages, the Sunday ritual of discovering something while you weren't even looking for it.

But we also live in 2026. So the best parts of that old world got rebuilt into something completely new, something you'd actually want to open, share, keep, and put your phone down for, without anyone telling you to.

Questions, answered

Got questions?
We've got answers.

The stuff people usually ask us, before they ask us.

Yes. There's no age printed on the cover. Some of the trickiest puzzles trip up grown-ups more than anyone else, and that's half the fun.

Completely. Paper you can hold, ink that smudges a little, pages that fold. Nothing about it lives on a screen.

Just the right amount. Enough to fill a lazy afternoon, not so much that it turns into a chore.

A mix of games, small trivia, bits of history, and a few riddles thrown in, topped off with one big story on the front page that's worth holding onto.

Of course. Slip it into your bag for the office, school, college, the bus stand, a flight, a mountain trip, or an evening at the beach. Anywhere is fair game.

Yes. Whatever address you share while joining the waitlist is exactly where your copy will land.

Right at the start of the month, in the first week, like clockwork.

Not at the moment, no. Deliveries are limited to India for now, but the waitlist is exactly how you'll hear first if that ever changes.

Me, directly. Write to Sahil at sahil@kultrxp.com and it'll get sorted out quickly, no bots involved.
