A Wordwall alternative for live games the whole class plays at once

Wordwall is a template-based activity maker from Visual Education Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales; the idea began in a London classroom in 2006, wordwall.net launched in 2016, and the fully remote team of about 25 people in 12 countries says it is profitable. Teachers enter their content once and turn it into a quiz, match-up, wordsearch, crossword or game show, switching templates with one click. Activities are played on an interactive whiteboard, printed, embedded on websites or assigned for students to complete at their own pace, with results per student. Wordwall's pricing page cites 600,000+ subscribed educators and 9,000+ schools, and its 25M+ community activities include a large catalog of Turkish grade-level content.

Best for: Teachers who want quick interactive and printable activities for the whiteboard and homework, especially K-12 teachers in Turkey.

• Wordwall has no real-time multiplayer mode, so a class can't join with a code and compete on their own devices at the same moment.
• In class, one activity is projected on the whiteboard; assignments put it on every device, but each student plays alone and at their own pace.
• Game-show style templates such as Gameshow quiz and Maze chase require Pro.
• The free Basic plan allows only 3 activities and 12 of the 34 templates.
• For a school-wide event, a staff training or a conference, there's no way to run one live game for hundreds of people at once.

• Everyone plays live, together

  Players join with a 6-digit PIN or QR code and answer the same question at the same moment on their own phones — the real-time multiplayer mode Wordwall doesn't have.

• Real game-show moments

  Speed scoring, an answer chart and top-5 leaderboard after every question, a podium with confetti, and built-in music and sound effects.

• Up to 500 players

  One game can hold a whole class, a school-wide event or a conference audience of up to 500.

• Game-show format included

  Quizzo's single plan includes everything for $9/month. On Wordwall, the Gameshow quiz template requires Pro, which is $10.80 a month on monthly billing.

• 34 activity templates

  Match up, group sort, crossword, wordsearch, hangman and more, with one-click switching between templates. Quizzo is multiple choice only.

• Printables and homework

  Activities print or download as PDFs, and self-paced assignments record each student's results. Quizzo runs live games only.

• Huge Turkish content library

  25M+ community activities, including a large catalog of Turkish grade-level content, plus AI generation on paid plans. Quizzo has no library or AI.

• Lower prices and a free plan

  Basic is free for 3 activities, and Standard costs $57.60 a year ($4.80/month), well under the $108 that 12 months of Quizzo costs.

As of October 2026, Wordwall's free Basic plan lets you create 3 activities with 12 templates. Standard costs $7.20 a month or $57.60 a year ($4.80/month); Pro, which adds 22 templates including Gameshow quiz and Maze chase, costs $10.80 a month or $86.40 a year. Annual prices fell in fall 2026 when the discount changed to '12 months for the price of 8', and some countries see prices in local currency. Quizzo is $9/month, billed monthly. Wordwall is cheaper on Standard and on annual billing; month to month, Quizzo costs less than Pro, and of the two, only Quizzo runs live multiplayer games.

Stay with Wordwall if you need varied activity formats, printable worksheets, homework assignments or its ready-made Turkish content, and you rarely need the whole class competing live. Choose Quizzo for the moments when you want every student — or every guest at an event — playing the same quiz live on their own phone, with a leaderboard and podium. The two also work side by side: Wordwall for worksheets and homework, Quizzo for live games.
