Part of the "Math Snacks" initiative and Maine Cooperative Extension, Pearl Diver is one of the many educational resources available on the Math Snacks website at mathsnacks.org. The game was meticulously crafted by a collaborative team comprising mathematics educators, researchers, and game developers housed at the acclaimed Learning Games Lab within New Mexico State University.

Games birthed from the Learning Games Lab undergo a rigorous instructional design process, extensive user testing, and valuable feedback from learners, educators, and researchers. To delve deeper into the NMSU Learning Games Lab's work, visit learninggameslab.org.

Pearl Diver's development was partially supported by a cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Education. However, this backing does not necessarily reflect the department's policy nor imply endorsement by the Federal Government. Funded partly by U.S. Department of Education: Award Number U295A050004.
