After 10 years of development, Quizizz has officially changed its name to Wayground, offering even more tools to support teaching, practice, and assessment—all in a fun and student-centered way.
The name may have changed, but the platform still offers everything teachers loved about Quizizz, plus new features designed to meet the evolving needs of today's classrooms.
Here's how to use Wayground to enhance your learning, along with tips to get started, create your own quizzes, and explore all the new possibilities.
What is Wayground?
Wayground is primarily a cloud-based teaching and quiz creation tool that functions like an educational game show. This question-and-answer system works across web browsers, Chrome browsers, as well as apps for iPhone and Android.
From a student's perspective, learning becomes more enjoyable with the addition of games, and they can take tests directly on their personal devices. Students don't need to create accounts; they simply enter an access code to participate, saving time and ensuring privacy.
For teachers, the platform provides:
- A rich library of quizzes is available.
- Edit or create options
- AI enables quick and easy content personalization.
What's new in Wayground?
Since rebranding, Wayground has updated many notable features:

- Lesson Bundles - sets of lesson content that help teachers easily plan their lessons.
- Create multiple interactive formats from a single document using AI.
- More diverse language support across all content types.

What makes Wayground unique compared to other assessment tools is its ability to set up individual customizations for each student. Wayground allows teachers to turn individual timers on or off for each student. This saves teachers considerable time.
