Quiz Granny started as a live quiz company in Bhopal, India, running quiz events for schools, colleges and companies. Across 300+ live events since 2023, the same pattern kept showing up. A room comes alive when everyone can play at once, but at the end the teacher or trainer still has no clear idea who actually understood the material and who did not. Writing good questions also takes hours that most educators simply don't have, and asking a room full of learners to download an app and create an account before the first question eats into the lesson.
We built QG Playground to close those gaps. A teacher should be able to make a good quiz in minutes, every learner should be able to join from the phone in their pocket with nothing more than a code, and every answer should turn into a clear picture of what each learner knows and where they are stuck. It also had to work in Indian classrooms and training rooms, which meant English, Hindi and bilingual quizzes, and players who can drop off a patchy Wi-Fi connection and rejoin without losing their score.
A teacher types a topic, or uploads a chapter as a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, and Granny, the built-in AI, drafts the quiz in English, Hindi or both. Each question is tagged with a skill and a difficulty level, and the teacher can edit, replace or regenerate anything before saving. Teachers can also write questions by hand or import them from a spreadsheet.
In class, the quiz goes up on a projector or smart board. Students open qgplay.live on any phone or laptop, type the 6-digit room code and a nickname, and they are in. A short shared countdown means everyone sees each question at the same moment. Students answer on their own screen, faster correct answers earn more points, and a leaderboard after each round keeps the whole class involved. Polls and word clouds can be dropped in between questions to open a discussion.
The same quiz can be set as homework or a class test instead, open inside a time window with timers, negative marking and optional tab-switch warnings.
Afterwards, the teacher sees the hardest and most-missed questions, every student's score, and, on higher plans, a heatmap of each student against each skill, readiness bands and progress from the first attempt to the latest, plus certificates emailed to each learner.
QG Playground grew out of Quiz Granny's own work. It is built for the inter-school and corporate quiz competitions Quiz Granny runs, and from there it spread to the schools, colleges, companies and trainers we already worked with.
A few design choices help it travel. Players never need an account, so a single teacher can try it in one lesson without involving IT. Every presenter screen shows where to make your own quiz, so students and participants can become hosts themselves. A free plan covers live quizzes for up to 20 players per session, and a referral programme rewards hosts who invite colleagues. English and Hindi support makes it usable beyond English-medium classrooms.
It launched in 2026, is used mainly in India, and is available worldwide with pricing in several currencies.
Recent additions include AI fact-checking of generated questions, bilingual quizzes, question banks that give each student a different but balanced set of questions, separate groups with their own time windows for large competitions, skill analytics with custom categories, completion certificates, and a proctored assessment mode for formal exams. There is also a one-time event pass for schools and organisers who run a single big quiz day and don't want a subscription.
