Quizizz is now Wayground
If you are looking for Quizizz, it is the same company under a new name. quizizz.com now redirects to wayground.com, the homepage headline reads “Quizizz is now Wayground”, and the footer names the company as Quizizz Inc. doing business as Wayground. The help center describes the same core ideas teachers knew from Quizizz: a join code, live sessions, homework you assign with a deadline, leaderboards and power-ups. We kept this page at its old address because many teachers still search for Quizizz.
The new name reflects a much broader product. Wayground now covers presentations, interactive videos, passages, flashcards and assessments, with accommodations and school-wide plans. It is no longer just a quiz game, and comparing it fairly means saying so.
Where Wayground is clearly stronger
Running a session. Wayground offers teacher-led live sessions, where everyone moves through the questions together, and student-paced ones with modes like Classic, Mastery Peak and Team. For homework there are Practice, Accuracy and Testing modes, with settings such as start and end times, redemption questions, shuffling, AI answer explanations and an anti-cheating monitor. Paper mode even lets students answer by holding up QR cards when there are not enough devices. AI Quiz Maker has nothing comparable to that range: it has one way to take a quiz, a link.
Content and question types. Wayground's paid Individual plan advertises access to 20M+ teacher-created resources, and its help center has guides for question types such as hotspot, labelling, categorise, graphing, drag and drop, word cloud, and audio or video responses. AI Quiz Maker has nine question types (multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, short answer, fill in the blank, matching, ordering, FAQ and written answer) and no shared public library.
Support for individual students. Wayground's plans include accommodations such as read-aloud, extra time and extra attempts, which can matter a great deal for students with learning plans. AI Quiz Maker offers reading support on the student page (the Lexend font, larger text, spacing and browser read-aloud), but not per-student accommodations set by the teacher.
Where AI Quiz Maker is different
Both tools can now turn a document or a photo of a worksheet into a quiz, so that alone is not a reason to switch. The differences are in what happens around it. After AI Quiz Maker generates a quiz from a topic, text, PDF, photo or web page, a second, separate reasoning model solves every question again without seeing the key. If it confidently disagrees, the question is marked “Check this answer” in the editor with its working, and you decide. It does not replace reading the quiz yourself, but it catches the slips that are easy to miss when skimming: a sign error, a wrong date, two terms that sound alike.
Students never make an account. They open the link and start; you choose whether to ask for a name, and can add a password, a closing date or an attempt limit. Each student sees only their own score and the explanations. That suits tutors, cover lessons, parents' evenings, staff training and any group that is not already rostered in a platform.
The results are built around reteaching. For each question you see how many got it right and, for multiple choice and true/false, which wrong answer was chosen and by how many. One click makes a short reteach set from the questions the class did worst on, written from the same source material.
Free plans side by side
Wayground's free Starter (Basic) plan, according to its help center, stores up to 20 resources, allows up to 100 participants per session, and includes basic question types and limited Wayground AI; features may differ by region. AI Quiz Maker's free plan includes 20 AI generations in total (not per month), up to 15 questions each, and every export format. Pro is $10 a month or $72 a year with 300 AI generations a month and up to 50 questions per quiz. Wayground shows Individual plan prices by region on its own site, so we do not quote a number here.
If your school already pays for a Wayground school or district plan, use it: you get LMS integration, school-wide reporting and support you would not get from us. AI Quiz Maker is most useful alongside it, as the place where the questions are written and checked.
