Both. The Picnic Post is made for curious people — kids, adults, families, friends, and solo solvers. Some bits are easy. Some are clever. The best bits are done together.

Sort of. It looks and feels like a newspaper, but there is no bad news, politics, doom, or filler. It is a monthly paper made entirely of the fun parts.

Eight pages, printed tabloid size — 27.9 × 43.2 cm, compact enough to fold up and carry with you. No filler, no ad pages: all eight are packed.

More than thirty puzzles, a pile of trivia, and one big, very detailed visual explainer that takes over the front page. Plus a "rabbit hole" section — a sneak peek at Nipu and Momo's texts, where something perfectly ordinary turns into something you never knew you wanted to know.

They come in five or six families — words, pure logic, visual logic, numbers and trivia — so there is something for you whichever kind you like. Expect a crossword with picture clues, a sudoku with a twist, matchsticks, a rope-and-knots puzzle, a spot-the-difference where one of the things to spot is a factual mistake, and a full murder mystery.

No. Every single one is written, constructed and designed by us, for this paper. Nothing is googled, reprinted or bought in — which is also why it takes us a whole month to make one.

Not in the boring way. It makes you think, solve, read, notice, remember, and ask questions — without feeling like homework.

Depends how you use it. You can browse it in one sitting, but each issue is made to last through the month. Solve some today. Save some for later. Pass it around.

Just something to write with. Any pencil, pen, or extremely confident crayon will do.

Because three issues is the honest length of a first date. Monthly plans attract people who leave just as quickly, which pushes us into chasing new subscribers every month instead of making the paper better. A quarter gives you enough of it to properly judge — and gives us time to act on what you tell us.

That line scares everyone, and it should not. Indian payment rules do not allow an open-ended subscription the way other countries do — every mandate must carry an end date, and ten years out is the standard one. It is the outer limit of the permission you are giving, not a schedule. Nothing is charged beyond the quarter you are in.

No. You are charged one quarter at a time, and only while you want to keep going. Stop whenever you like and nothing further is ever taken.

Yes, from your account settings, in one click, no email required. It stops every future charge immediately — once stopped, we cannot take another rupee from that mandate even if we wanted to.

Never. Whatever you have paid for still comes to you. If you stop the day after a renewal, all three issues of that quarter are still posted — you just are not charged again after that.

Yes. You can start again whenever you like, and everything is still where you left it.

Yes, and we would rather say so plainly. This is a launch price for our earliest subscribers, set low while we find our footing. It goes up as the paper grows.

Yes. It is built to be giftable — for families, curious people, puzzle lovers, grandparents, classrooms, friend groups, and anyone who deserves better entertainment. Just email us at hello@picnicpost.com and we will set you up with a gift card that you can send to them.

Very probably. Between our two courier partners we reach more than 21,000 pincodes across India — each one checked by hand. Enter yours when you subscribe and it will tell you straight away.

Issues are posted at the very start of the month. Most metros get it within three or four days; the farther corners take a day or two longer. Barring an accident, it is with you inside the first two weeks.

Because the courier asks for an OTP at your door, and that OTP goes to this number. One wrong digit is the single biggest reason a delivery fails, comes all the way back, and has to be sent again. So we check it up front rather than discovering it the hard way.

No — your phone number is your account, and it is the number every delivery OTP goes to, so it stays fixed. Do take a moment to get it right when you sign up.

Yes, as often as you need, to any pincode we serve. Moving cities, changing hostels, spending a few months elsewhere — just update it in your account.

From the next issue we have not yet handed to the courier. Once a month's orders are placed the address on them is locked, so change it early in the month to be sure it catches that issue rather than the following one.

Use the address where you will actually be in the first half of the month. If you are between places, the safest choice is a home address where somebody else can receive it for you.

Not yet. The taxes and monthly compliance that come with it are more than the two of us can carry right now. The likeliest future is a partner abroad who prints and posts their side of the world — but we are not going to promise a date we cannot keep.

Yes — put an Indian address on it, and the paper goes there, to family or to a friend. You also get the digital edition of every issue you own, readable in your account. It is a tabloid sheet, so it will not print at home, but plenty of people solve from the screen with a notebook alongside.

Us. Not a helpdesk, not a bot — the two people who make the paper. We are on Instagram DMs, or write to hello@picnicpost.com or support@picnicpost.com. If a delivery goes missing, we sort it out ourselves.
