12No login. No password. No face scan. Just unfold.
Crossword, riddle, word game, or a format you've never seen.
Preferably one that's been missing since March.
Twenty minutes vanish. In the nicest possible way.
You already get news. Your phone gives you news. Instagram gives you news. YouTube gives you news. Your family group chat gives you news every 17 minutes.
This is something different — something to scribble, fold, pass around, and laugh over.
"THE PAPER THAT DOESN'T REFRESH."
Every issue is different. Here's what could be waiting:

YOU'RE BUYING THE HOUR AROUND IT."

"IT STARTED AS A SLIGHTLY CRAZY IDEA. IT BECAME A REAL NEWSPAPER."
Founder, The Weekend Times
Sahil Ashiwal
I've always thought our time deserved better than doom-scrolling, half-watching shows, and saying "I'll do something fun" for the third day in a row. So I made The Weekend Times, a newspaper designed purely for the joy of doing something delightfully pointless: solving ridiculous puzzles, arguing over answers, discovering something new, laughing at terrible jokes, and occasionally proving to your friends that you are, in fact, smarter than them. It started as a slightly crazy idea, became a real newspaper, and somehow ended up in your hands. Honestly, I think that's pretty cool.
Twelve pages. A front-page story, a crossword that'll wreck your ego, riddles, trivia, and offline games you've never seen before — all for less than your regular coffee run.
Except this doesn't get finished in fifteen minutes and binned. It gets fought over, scribbled on, and left on the table for round two next weekend.
Is it for everyone?
+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.
Is it real paper?
+Yes. Physical ink. Actual pages. You can fold it, spill chai on it.
How many pages?
+12 pages. Enough for a full lazy afternoon.
What's inside?
+Games, trivia, history, riddles, one front-page story, and more.
Can I carry it around?
+Bag, bus, flight, beach. No Wi-Fi. No battery. Anywhere.
Do you deliver where I live?
+Yes. Whatever address you save on your account is exactly where your copy will land.
When does it arrive?
+First week of each month.
International shipping?
+India only for now. More places coming soon.
