About Us

Bubbling.pro was founded in 2021 by a team of marine enthusiasts, puzzle designers, and conservationists who wanted to combine fun gameplay with ocean education and advocacy. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii—a gateway to some of the world’s most beautiful marine ecosystems—our small team of 7 believes that games can be a powerful tool to inspire love for the ocean and drive conservation action. Our story began when our founder, Dr. Marine Carter (a marine biologist), noticed that many people were disconnected from the ocean and unaware of its challenges (e.g., coral bleaching, plastic pollution). She teamed up with puzzle game designer Liam Foster to create a platform where players could explore the ocean’s wonders, learn about marine life, and be inspired to protect it—all through engaging puzzles and adventures. At Bubbling.pro, our games are designed to be both fun and educational. Our flagship game, Ocean Depths: Puzzle Adventure, takes players on a journey through diverse underwater environments—from vibrant coral reefs to mysterious deep-sea trenches to sunken shipwrecks—solving puzzles to uncover secrets and help marine creatures (e.g., rescuing a tangled sea turtle, restoring a damaged coral reef). Each puzzle is paired with fun facts about marine life and conservation tips, curated by our team of marine biologists. We avoid time limits and fail states, focusing instead on exploration and curiosity. What sets us apart? We’re a mission-driven platform. A portion of every purchase goes to marine conservation organizations (e.g., Coral Restoration Foundation, Ocean Conservancy) to support real-world efforts like coral planting, plastic cleanup, and marine protected area advocacy. We also integrate educational content seamlessly into gameplay—for example, solving a puzzle about coral bleaching unlocks a short video from Dr. Carter explaining how climate change impacts reefs, and rescuing a marine creature shares tips on how players can reduce their ocean footprint at home. Our team is a passionate mix of marine experts, game designers, and educators. Dr. Carter leads our conservation and education efforts, ensuring every fact and tip is scientifically accurate and actionable. Our lead puzzle designer, Mia Lopez, creates engaging, ocean-themed challenges that range from matching marine species to navigating underwater mazes—all with intuitive controls suitable for all ages. Our art director, Carlos Mendez, crafts stunning, realistic visuals of marine life and environments, working with underwater photographers to ensure accuracy (from the colors of coral reefs to the bioluminescence of deep-sea creatures). Our community manager, Zoe Patel, fosters a family-friendly space where players can share their favorite underwater discoveries and conservation actions they’ve taken offline. Since launching Ocean Depths: Puzzle Adventure in 2022, we’ve grown to over 150,000 users worldwide, with feedback from parents, teachers, and ocean lovers alike. Teachers often use our games in classrooms to supplement marine science lessons, and many families report that our games have sparked conversations about ocean protection at home. We release monthly updates, adding new underwater regions (e.g., Arctic ice shelves, mangrove forests) and puzzles based on user requests, and we host "Conservation Challenges" where players complete in-game tasks to unlock donations to our partner organizations (e.g., planting 100 corals for 10,000 completed puzzles). What makes us unique? We don’t just entertain—we empower. Every feature of our games is designed to connect players to the ocean: our "Ocean Diary" lets users track the marine species they’ve encountered in-game and learn more about them, and our "Conservation Hub" on the website shares resources for getting involved locally (e.g., beach cleanup events, sustainable seafood guides). We also prioritize accessibility, with adjustable puzzle difficulty, text-to-speech for educational content, and low-data modes for players in remote areas. Looking to the future, we plan to expand our game library with a cooperative puzzle mode where players can team up to restore ocean habitats, and a mobile app that includes augmented reality (AR) features—letting users "explore" the ocean in their own backyards by scanning QR codes to unlock virtual marine life. We also aim to partner with aquariums and marine parks to create interactive exhibits that bridge in-game and real-world ocean experiences. Our ultimate goal is to become a leading platform for ocean education and conservation, proving that games can be both fun and a force for good. Whether you’re a kid curious about sea creatures, a parent looking for educational entertainment, or an ocean lover wanting to make a difference, Bubbling.pro invites you to dive in. Explore the depths, solve puzzles, and join us in protecting the ocean—one game at a time.
