Quizizz Is Now Wayground: What Actually Changed

If you typed quizizz.com and ended up somewhere called Wayground, nothing is broken. Quizizz changed its name. It’s the same company, the same account, and the same quizzes, just under a new name and at a new web address. This page covers exactly what happened, what you need to do (almost nothing), and what’s new.

When did Quizizz become Wayground?

Quizizz announced the switch to Wayground on June 24, 2025. The change rolled out over the following months, and by early 2026 the old Quizizz branding was gone from the app. The website moved from quizizz.com to wayground.com around the same time.

The company started back in 2015 as a simple quiz tool. By the time of the rebrand it was being used in over 150 countries and, by its own count, about 90% of U.S. schools.

Why did Quizizz change its name?

The short version: it stopped being just a quiz app.

Founder and CEO Ankit Gupta said ten years of teacher feedback had turned the tool into a place to “browse, bring, or build any instructional resource.” Along the way it picked up lessons, slides, flashcards, videos, reports, and AI features. At that point the word “quiz” didn’t really describe the product anymore. (Gupta also had a bit of fun admitting nobody could ever remember how to spell Q-u-i-z-i-z-z.)

The new name, Wayground, is meant to suggest students finding their own way on shared ground, which is to say a classroom.

What changed in the rebrand

Here’s what’s actually different now:

• The product name: Quizizz is now Wayground.
• The website: quizizz.com moved to wayground.com.
• The branding: new logo, new colors, new visual style.
• Social media handles and some URLs changed to match the new name.

That’s the surface-level stuff. Underneath, most things stayed exactly where they were.

What stayed the same

This is the part that matters if you already use it. Going by the company’s own announcement, you don’t have to change a single thing about your account. To be specific:

• Your login and password still work.
• Your quizzes, lessons, classes, and reports all carried over. Nothing was deleted.
• Existing join links and game codes still work.
• Integrations like Google Classroom keep working.
• The legal entity is unchanged. Quizizz Inc. is still the parent company, and any contracts signed with Quizizz Inc. are still valid.
• Security and privacy practices are the same as before.

So if you were worried about losing years of saved quizzes, you can relax. It’s all there under the new name. If you want a proper refresher on the platform itself, see what Wayground is.

Do old Quizizz links still work?

Yes. Old quizizz.com links redirect to wayground.com on their own. If a student saved an old bookmark, or a teacher shared a quizizz.com link last school year, it still lands in the right place. There’s nothing you need to resend.

Is Wayground still free?

Yes. The free plan for teachers and students is still there, same as it was. Paid plans add extra features and deeper reporting, but the free tier didn’t go away with the rebrand. Students can still join a game with just a code and a name, no account required. If you need the steps, here’s how to join a Wayground game.

What’s new with Wayground

The rebrand arrived with a set of updates for the 2025–2026 school year. The main ones worth knowing:

• Curriculum Alignment: find resources mapped to specific standards and curricula.
• Lesson Bundles: group separate activities into one lesson, which makes planning and student access simpler.
• AI Generation Hub: turn a single file into several interactive formats at once, like a quiz, slides, and flashcards.
• Expanded Accommodations: translation, read-aloud, and a dyslexia-friendly font, now available across video, slides, and assessments.
• VoyageMath: a new middle-school math program built around individual practice and feedback.

The company has said it wants AI to help teachers rather than replace them. When you start a live session now, you get a screen offering these accommodations before students join.

What the change means for students

For students, day-to-day life barely changes. You still open the join page, type the code your teacher gives you, and play. The screen says Wayground instead of Quizizz now, and that’s really the whole difference on your end. If your teacher handed out an old Quizizz link, it still works.
