# Wayground (formerly Quizizz)

> Wayground, the platform 75 million people still call Quizizz, spent a decade turning boring pop quizzes into something students actually cheer for. In June 2025 it dropped the goofy name that made it famous, bet the house on AI that hides in the background, and pushed past a full quiz-game identity into curriculum, video, and middle-school math. This is the story of two BITS Pilani engineers who failed at a math game, stumbled into a classroom obsession, and quietly reached nine of every ten U.S. schools.
