Want to join a Quizizz game using a code from your teacher? You can still do that in 2026, although the platform has a new name: Wayground, formerly Quizizz.
The platform’s official joining process lets students enter a session using a join code, open a direct link shared by their teacher, or access an activity through a connected learning management system (LMS). The exact steps depend on how the teacher has assigned the activity.
If you have a Quizizz game code, start at the official Wayground join page. Enter the code provided by your teacher and follow the instructions on screen.
How to Join a Quizizz Game With a Code
The steps below follow Wayground’s official student joining instructions.
Step 1: Open the Wayground Join Page
Open a browser on your computer, tablet, or phone and visit wayground.com/join.
This is the current join page for the platform previously known as Quizizz. Older links, including Quizizz and Join My Quiz links, may still work.
Step 2: Enter Your Game Code
Ask your teacher or game host for the session’s join code. Enter the code on the joining page and continue.
A join code is generated when a teacher starts a live session or assigns an activity as homework. It is specific to that session, so an old code may no longer work.
According to Wayground’s official guide to creating and sharing join codes, session codes expire when the session ends. If your code is rejected, ask your teacher to check whether the session is still active or share a new code.
Step 3: Enter Your Name
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your name. Depending on the joining experience, you may also be able to generate a random display name using the arrow button.
Use the name your teacher expects so they can identify you in the session.
Step 4: Adjust Available Game Settings
Before starting, you may see options for features such as music, memes, read-aloud support, and sound effects.
Switch these options on or off according to your preferences and any instructions from your teacher. The available settings may vary depending on the activity.
Step 5: Start the Activity
Select Start when you are ready. If you are joining an assigned homework activity, you may need to select Start game as well.
For a live session, you may enter a waiting lobby until the teacher starts the activity. You cannot join a live session after it has ended.
For the official step-by-step instructions, see how students join a Wayground session.
How to Join a Quizizz Game Without Entering a Code
You may not need to type a code if your teacher has shared a direct invitation link.
Join Through a Direct Game Link
Open the link your teacher sent through email, a messaging app, or your classroom platform. Follow the prompts to enter the activity.
Depending on the session and your school’s setup, you may be asked to sign in before you can participate.
Join Through Google Classroom, Canvas, or Schoology
If the teacher shared the activity through Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or another supported learning management system, open the assignment from that platform.
Sign in to the relevant school account first if required. Wayground’s official instructions explain that students using a code shared through an LMS must sign in to their LMS account to obtain the code.
You can also join using a QR code if your teacher provides one for the session.
Quizizz Is Now Wayground: What Has Changed?
Quizizz changed its product name to Wayground. This is important if you are searching for old instructions that refer only to Quizizz or direct you to an outdated page.
The platform’s official announcement says existing accounts, classes, and resources remain available, and users do not need to create a new account simply because of the name change. Existing integrations and links, including joinmyquiz.com, continue to work.
You can read the platform’s own explanation in Quizizz is now Wayground: What’s changing and what’s not.
For students, the practical takeaway is simple: use the current Wayground join page, or follow the link supplied by your teacher. You do not need to look for a separate replacement platform.
Do You Need an Account to Join a Quizizz Game?
Whether you need to sign in depends on the type of session and how your teacher has configured it. Some activities may allow participation through a join link or code, while school-managed activities may require an active student account or an LMS sign-in.
If Wayground asks you to log in, use the account associated with your school or class. If you do not have one, ask your teacher which sign-in method you should use.
If you need to create an account, follow the platform’s current official account creation guide. It explains the available sign-in methods, including Google, email, and supported single sign-on options.
Students should follow their school’s account and privacy requirements, particularly when they are under 13.
How to Join a Class on Wayground
A class code is different from a game code. A game code lets you enter a particular activity, while a class code is used to join a teacher’s class.
To join a class:
- Sign in to your active Wayground student account.
- Open the Classes section.
- Select Join a Class.
- Enter the class code provided by your teacher.
- Follow any additional prompts and select Join class.
Once you have joined, the class should appear in your account. Your teacher can then assign activities through the class.
If your class code has expired or is no longer accepted, ask your teacher to generate a new one. See Wayground’s official guide to joining a class using a code for the current process.
How to Log In to Your Existing Quizizz Account
If you already used Quizizz before the rebrand, you can continue using your existing account on Wayground.
- Open Wayground.
- Select the sign-in option.
- Choose the method linked to your account, such as Google, email, or another supported sign-in option.
- Complete any requested verification.
After signing in, you can access the classes, resources, and activities available to your account. The options displayed depend on your role, school setup, and account permissions.
If you cannot sign in, check that you are using the correct account or ask your teacher or school administrator for help.
Troubleshooting: Why Is My Quizizz Game Code Not Working?
If you cannot join a game, check these common causes before trying again.
The code has expired. Session codes stop working when the session ends. Ask the teacher to start or assign the activity again and provide the current code.
The code was entered incorrectly. Recheck the digits and remove any accidental spaces. If the code still fails, request a fresh one.
The activity has already ended. Students cannot join a live session after it has ended. Your teacher may need to start a new session.
The activity requires an account. Sign in with the account specified by your school, or open the assignment through the relevant LMS.
You are using an old link. Try the current Wayground join page or request a fresh direct link from your teacher.
You are entering a class code in the game join field. A class code is used to join a class through your account; a session code is used to access an activity. Confirm which code your teacher has shared.
If none of these solutions works, contact your teacher and provide the exact error message. Avoid sharing your password or other private account information.
