Quizizz is now Wayground

The rebrand is finished, your account came with you, and nothing you built is lost. Here is what actually changed, and how to think about whether it still fits your classroom.

If you went looking for Quizizz recently and landed on something called Wayground, nothing has gone wrong. Quizizz rebranded. The name announcement came in June 2025 and the changeover rolled through from around October 2025 into January 2026, so by now it is finished rather than upcoming.

The short version: your account, your quizzes and your student data moved across on their own. There was no migration to run and nothing to export. If you have not logged in since the change, your library is still there under the new name.

What actually changed

The rebrand was not a coat of paint on the same product. The stated reasoning was that "Quizizz" described a quiz tool, and the platform had grown past that into something broader, with AI sitting underneath more of it.

The changes the company highlighted:

Curriculum alignment, so resources can be found against standards rather than by searching titles. Lesson bundles, which group standalone activities into something closer to a lesson plan. An AI generation hub that turns one uploaded file into several activity formats. And accommodations that use AI to vary language, accessibility and difficulty per student.

What did not change is the part most teachers care about. The navigation is broadly where it was, existing content still works, and the day-to-day of assigning something to a class is recognisable.

So should you do anything?

Probably not urgently, and be suspicious of anyone telling you otherwise. A rebrand is not a reason to move, and "the name changed" is not a problem that needs solving.

There are two situations where it is worth a think.

Your school filters or allowlists by domain. This is the practical one. If your network allowlist, your MDM profile or your safeguarding filter has quizizz.com in it and not wayground.com, students will hit a block at exactly the wrong moment. That is worth checking before a lesson rather than during one.

You were already unsure about the direction. A lot of platforms in this space are adding AI generation quickly. If your reservation was already that the tool was doing more than you needed, this rebrand makes that direction more explicit rather than less. That is a legitimate reason to look around, and a different reason from the name changing.

If you are looking around anyway

Being straightforward about our position here: we make Tikroo, so we are not a neutral party. What follows is what we think we genuinely do differently, not a scoring table designed to make us win.

The honest summary is that these are becoming different kinds of product. Wayground is heading toward being somewhere a student works through material. Tikroo is built for the twenty minutes when everyone is in the same room, or the same call, and you want the room involved.

If what you need is a curriculum-aligned platform that assigns and tracks over a term, that is the direction Wayground is going and we are not trying to be that. If what you need is the thing that makes a Friday afternoon work, or a revision session where nobody is on their phone under the desk, that is what we build.

A note on your existing quizzes

Whatever you decide, do not delete anything yet. Question sets you have written are worth more than the platform they currently live on, and rewriting them from scratch later is the sort of task that never happens. Export what you can while you still have an account, even if you stay.

If you do try something new, test it with one low-stakes lesson before you commit a scheme of work to it. Anything that survives thirty students on the school wifi at 2pm on a Friday is probably fine.

The bottom line

Quizizz became Wayground, your stuff came with you, and there is no emergency. Check your school's allowlist so nothing breaks mid-lesson, and treat the rebrand as a prompt to ask whether the tool still matches what you actually do, which is a question worth asking about any tool once a year regardless of what it is called.
