Quizizz Becomes Wayground: Announces New AI and Curriculum Supports

"Over the past ten years, teacher feedback has transformed a simple formative assessment tool into a destination for teachers to browse, bring, or build any instructional resource and quickly deliver it to students," said Ankit Gupta, Founder and CEO. "Our new name reflects that growth and our belief that every student can find their way within the common ground of the classroom."

A Decade of Growth, Led by Teachers

Wayground began in 2015 with a focus on interactive classroom quizzes. It has evolved to include resources, student supports, and reporting for every part of a teacher's lesson. Today, the platform serves educators in over 150 countries and, as of June 2025, 90% of U.S. schools.

AI Where It Counts

Wayground's next chapter includes thoughtful use of AI to enhance, not replace, human instruction.

"We're seeing millions of users engage with AI every week, but it doesn't replace the human connection and critical thinking that make learning happen. We believe AI should work in the background to support the moments that matter most—like when a teacher walks over to a student's desk and says just the right thing to help them move forward," said Gupta.

Rather than isolating students behind screens, AI powers behind-the-scenes tools like translation, difficulty adjustments, and accessibility features such as dyslexia font, read-aloud, and more. AI-powered accommodations let teachers confidently support a wide range of learners in a group setting without slowing down the class or singling anyone out.

"It's a Swiss Army Knife," said Gary Lambert, Director of IT, Communications & Security for Beekmantown CSD, New York. "Every teacher finds something new to do with it. The first time I used the AI, I said 'there's no way it can be that easy' and I emailed my staff."

New Updates for the 2025-2026 Academic Year

As part of the rebrand, Wayground is also announcing several platform updates for the new school year:

• Curriculum Alignment to quickly find resources mapped to standards and curricula
  
  
• Lesson Bundles that streamline lesson planning and student access by combining standalone activities
  
  
• Flexible AI Generation Hub to transform a single file into multiple interactive formats
  
  
• Expanded Accommodations to provide language and accessibility supports across video, slides, and assessments
  
  
• VoyageMath, a new middle school program for individualized instruction and feedback

Legal Structure and User Access Stay Consistent

The legal entity, company ownership, user account access, and privacy practices are unchanged by the platform rename. Existing links and integrations will continue to work, and users will be automatically redirected to wayground.com.
