Wayground (formerly Quizizz) in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Wayground, formerly Quizizz, is an AI-supported platform for teachers building supplemental instruction, practice and assessment. It suits educators who want to create varied activities and deliver them live or as independent work. Its broad teaching toolkit is appealing, but the free plan’s 20-resource ceiling makes it a limited long-term home for a growing library.

Key features

Activity creation and AI

Teachers can make Assessments/Quizzes, Lessons, Passages, Flashcards and Interactive Videos with more than 18 question types. Wayground AI can generate assessments from prompts, documents, webpage links, curricula, YouTube videos and uploaded images. That range gives teachers several ways to start, though AI-generated material does not remove the need to review and adapt it for a class.

Delivery and differentiation

Teachers can host live sessions or assign asynchronous work. Paper Mode, Mastery Peak and Test mode provide different delivery options; accommodations such as extra time, Read Aloud and reduced answer choices, plus differentiated assessment versions, help adapt work to learner needs. A question bank, mixed grading modes, assessment analytics, live polling and quiz mode round out the assessment tools. Share-by-link delivery is useful for straightforward distribution, while live sessions scale from 100 participants on Starter to 1,000 on Individual.

Integrations, security and support

LMS integrations include Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace and Toddle. The School & District plan also lists Clever and ClassLink rostering. Wayground says it has ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and describes access control, encryption, incident management, audits and employee training. Its extension deployment guide says data in transit uses TLS encryption and generated content is not used to train third-party AI models. Support is by email, with a stated median ticket response time under six hours.

Pricing

Wayground is freemium. Starter (Basic) costs nothing and caps storage at 20 activities, sessions at 100 participants, and library access at a limited level. That is enough to try the workflow or maintain a small set of activities, but teachers who build more than a modest library will need to manage the cap or upgrade; Starter features may also differ by region.

Individual (Super) costs $18 a month, billed annually at $216 per year, and includes unlimited storage, sessions for up to 1,000 participants and a 7-day free trial. It is the clearer fit for an individual teacher whose classes exceed Starter’s session limit or whose resource library keeps growing. The annual billing commitment is material: the monthly figure is not a month-to-month price.

School & District has custom pricing, unlimited students, school- or district-wide reporting, and a dedicated Customer Success Manager. It fits institutions that need organization-wide reporting and rostering rather than an individual classroom plan. The trade-off is that buyers must contact sales for a price.

Platforms

Wayground runs on the web and supports Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and Linux browsers. Student and Teacher apps are available from the App Store and Play Store, and an extension is supported. This range suits mixed-device classrooms, including those using desktop Linux, as well as mobile learners.

Who it's for

Wayground is strongest for teachers who want to prepare several kinds of learning activity, vary live and independent delivery, and use built-in accommodations without assembling separate tools. It is less compelling for a teacher who needs a large free content library, or for a school that requires a known institutional price before evaluating a purchase.

Pros and cons

Pros: Five activity formats and 18+ question types support more than quiz-only practice.

Pros: Live and asynchronous delivery, accommodations and differentiated versions give teachers options for varied classroom needs.

Pros: Individual removes storage limits and raises session capacity to 1,000 participants.

Cons: Starter’s 20-resource storage limit can force teachers with an expanding library onto an annual plan.

Cons: Individual’s $216 annual charge is a commitment even though its price is expressed monthly.

Cons: School & District pricing is custom, so institutions cannot compare its cost from a set price.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Automated Grading Software, Assessment Software, Interactive Classroom Software and Student Response Systems.

PrairieLearn is the alternative to consider when open-source software that institutions can run and modify on their own infrastructure matters most.

Möbius Assessment is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, web and Windows support; subscription terms and fees are provided by sales.

TAO offers a free Starter plan with one author seat, 3,000 AI credits per month and 50 learner test attempts per month.

Socrative may suit smaller activities: its free plan allows five quizzes, one room and 50 students per activity, with 30-day report history.

Gradescope is another option for assignment grading, with its free Basic plan including dynamic rubrics, question-by-question grading, assignment statistics, regrade requests and data export.

MATLAB Grader is free with a current MATLAB license under maintenance; LMS integration requires a qualifying academic license.

Numbas is a free, open-source option, but has no public LTI hosting instance; users must install and run the LTI tool.

ClassMarker is another freemium assessment option; its Professional 2 plan offers up to 1,000 credits per month and AI exam proctoring.

Verdict

Choose Wayground if you are a teacher who wants activity creation, AI-assisted assessment, flexible teaching modes and learner accommodations in one platform. The main reason to look elsewhere is the Starter storage cap if you want to build a substantial library for free; for an institution, the custom-priced district plan also makes budgeting less immediate.

Verdict

Wayground brings activity creation, AI-assisted assessment, teaching modes, and differentiation into one platform. The free Starter plan has storage and session limits; Individual (Super) raises the session limit and includes unlimited storage at the listed annual-billing price.
