Since rebranding from Quizizz in mid-2025, Wayground has shipped at a platform-ambition pace — the name change signaled a shift from quiz app to full instructional suite, and the feature releases since have followed that arc. Here is what teachers should actually know about the current Wayground feature set going into the 2026 school year: what is new, what changed underneath, and which additions are worth adopting first. (New to the platform entirely? Start with the teacher guide; the rebrand story itself is in our explainer.)
The Headline: AI Across the Whole Workflow
The rebrand announcement centered on AI, and that is where the platform keeps investing:
- Activity generation from anything: the AI builds quizzes and lessons from a topic, an uploaded document, or a video link — and the generation quality has improved measurably since launch. Full workflow in the Wayground AI guide.
- Question-level AI assists: rewriting for reading level, translating, generating distractors, and converting question types inside the editor — the small assists that compound across a 20-question build.
- Curriculum-aligned supports: the platform increasingly surfaces standards-tagged, curriculum-shaped content rather than loose quizzes — part of the "instructional suite" positioning, and visible in how library search now behaves.
Teacher-Workflow Features Worth Adopting
- Richer question types: beyond multiple choice — drag-and-drop, ordering, labeling, math response, drawing, audio/video answers. Mixing three types per activity is the cheapest engagement upgrade on the platform (creation guide).
- Flexible assignment settings: attempts, timers, answer-reveal timing, and scheduling matured into a real mastery-practice engine — settings walkthrough in homework mode.
- Reports continuity: data views carried over from Quizizz and deepened; the question-level and student-level reads that drive reteaching are unchanged in spirit (reports guide) — your old instincts transfer.
- Accommodations: read-aloud, extended time, and translation settings per student — quietly one of the most consequential feature areas for real classrooms (setup guide).
What Stayed the Same (On Purpose)
Game codes, student join flow, logins, existing content, and the core live modes (Classic, Team, Test) all carried over intact — the company was explicit that the rebrand changed the wrapper, not the classroom mechanics. Your saved quizzes, classes, and power-up gameplay behave as before; old quizizz.com links redirect.
Adoption Priorities for 2026–27
- If you prep from documents: the document-to-activity AI is the biggest time-saver shipped since the rebrand — pilot it on next week's reading.
- If you differentiate manually: per-student accommodations plus AI reading-level rewrites replace a lot of duplicate-and-edit labor.
- If you grade practice by hand anywhere: assignment settings with attempts + reports close that loop entirely.
- If you left for a competitor pre-rebrand: the comparison math changed — see our updated Kahoot, Blooket, and Gimkit matchups.
Pricing Notes After the Rebrand
The free Starter tier remains genuinely usable (live games, assignments, core reports within participant caps); AI depth and premium library content concentrate in paid tiers. Current structure in the plans breakdown — and existing Quizizz subscriptions carried over automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to relearn anything from Quizizz?
No — the classroom mechanics are unchanged. The new value is in the creation and differentiation layers, which are additive.
Are the AI features free?
A taste on free; depth on paid tiers. For occasional generation, free suffices; daily AI building is where upgrading starts to pay.
Did any features get removed?
Nothing classroom-critical; some legacy menus moved. If something seems missing, our troubleshooting guide covers the usual relocations and fixes.
Where do new features appear first?
Wayground's official blog and in-product announcements; we update this page as the feature set shifts through the year.
