help Quizizz FAQ
Why is Quizizz now called Wayground?
Quizizz adopted the Wayground name in 2025 after expanding beyond quizzes into lessons, passages, flashcards, and other teaching resources. Existing Quizizz links redirect to the Wayground website, so older classroom materials are not automatically obsolete.
How is Quizizz different from Kahoot! during a live class?
Quizizz was built around students seeing questions on their own devices and can run in participant-paced or instructor-paced modes. Kahoot! is strongly associated with a shared presentation screen, although both platforms now offer multiple hosting and assignment formats.
Can students complete a Quizizz activity as homework?
Yes. Teachers can assign an assessment for self-paced completion instead of hosting it live, and results are collected in the teacher's reports.
Can a teacher turn off memes and the leaderboard in Quizizz?
Yes. Game settings let the host disable the leaderboard, memes, music, and other competitive elements, which can make an activity more suitable for students who dislike public rankings.
