# A Quizizz (now Wayground) alternative for one-screen team games > Quizizz is now called Wayground. Compare it with Oly: 27 team games on one screen, your phone as the remote, games made from a textbook photo. Source: https://olyclass.com/compare/quizizz-alternative/ · Updated 2026-10-31 First, the name: **Quizizz is now called Wayground**. The company announced the change in 2025; quizizz.com links now lead to wayground.com, and accounts and quizzes carried over. So if you're searching for a Quizizz alternative, you're comparing with Wayground. Wayground has grown from a quiz game into a large platform: assessments, lessons, presentations, flashcards, interactive videos, homework and reports, with AI throughout. Most of it is played by **each student on their own device**, live or at their own pace. Oly is much smaller and does one thing: **team games for the whole class on one screen**, run from **your phone**, with **no student devices**. This page is an honest comparison to help you choose, or to use both. ![The big screen shows a question while the teacher's phone shows the answer](https://olyclass.com/blog/meet-oly/remote-question.webp "Oly: one screen for the class, your phone as the remote.") ## At a glance | | Oly | Wayground (formerly Quizizz) | |---|---|---| | What students need | Nothing: they play in teams and answer out loud | Usually their own device; Paper Mode (students hold up QR codes that the teacher scans) and the Board Battle game need none | | How the class plays | 2 to 8 teams on one shared screen (up to 4 on the free plan) | Teacher-led or student-paced sessions; Team Mode adds students' scores into a team score | | Teacher's remote | Your phone shows the answer and marks it (QR code or 6-digit PIN) | A Teacher App for phones (it scans answers in Paper Mode) | | Made for | Live team games in class | Assessments, lessons, homework and games | | Make a game from a photo of a textbook page | Yes (AI) | AI can generate an activity from a topic, a document or an upload | | Import a public Kahoot quiz | Yes | Not mentioned on their site | | Game types | 27 team games (Tile Grab, Lucky Wheel, Team Bingo, Paper Race…) | Quiz modes plus games such as Board Battle, WayArena and Tug of War | | Homework and per-student reports | No: Oly is for live play in class | Yes | | Players | The whole class, in teams | Up to 100 per session on the free plan, up to 1,000 on paid plans | | Free plan | Yes: every game, the whole library, 10 AI sets a month | Yes ("Free for every teacher, forever"), with limited AI | | Paid plan | Oly Pro: $36 a year or $4.99 a month | Individual plan (priced per country) and School & District plans (quote) | Wayground details are from wayground.com (home page, plans, classroom games, the "Quizizz becomes Wayground" announcement) and its help center (plans, live session modes), checked on October 31, 2026.

The score can swing until the last question. - **No student devices, every lesson.** All 27 Oly games run on one screen; you don't need a special mode or printed cards. - **You want students to talk.** Teams discuss and agree before answering, so quiet students join in without being put on the spot. - **You want something simple.** No classes to set up, no student logins, no codes for students to type. Pick a game, scan the QR code with your phone, play. - **You teach English to young learners.** Pictures for every word, read-aloud, and listening, spelling and speaking games: [Listen and Touch](https://olyclass.com/classroom-games/listen-and-touch/), [Balloon Words](https://olyclass.com/classroom-games/balloon-words/), [Picture Dice](https://olyclass.com/classroom-games/picture-dice/). - **You don't have time to write questions.** Snap the textbook page you're teaching, paste a word list or type a topic, and the game is ready in about a minute. ## When Wayground may suit you better - **Every student has a device** and you want individual scores, accuracy reports and data for each student. - **You need homework, self-paced practice or formal assessments.** Wayground does all three; Oly is for live play in class. - **You want one platform for everything**: lessons, presentations, videos, flashcards and quizzes. - **Your school already pays for it** or you have years of quizzes there.
