“Riddle Town Bears” is an original character IP set in a classic old-town environment, built around humorous and fast-paced stories of detectives and villains chasing one another. The series delivers the message that “anyone can be a hero in everyday life,” focusing not only on solving cases but on how each character confronts problems in their own way, allowing audiences to relate and see themselves in the story.
Inspired by the retro atmosphere of an old town preserved within a modern city, the IP blends cultural influences to create a universe designed for global expansion. Rather than following the dark tone of traditional detective genres, it adopts a light, comedic approach combined with emotional storytelling, making it accessible and appealing to a wide age range. The dynamic relationship between detectives and villains highlights character interaction over a simple good-versus-evil structure, balancing action, comedy, and mystery.
The main character, Detective Harrison, runs the Harrison Detective Office. Though seemingly reserved, he is warm-hearted and dependable, treating the problems of local residents as his own. His assistant, Ricky, represents young adults at the start of their careers—sometimes clumsy, yet eager to grow and take on challenges. Through Ricky, the series conveys the idea that even imperfect people can become heroes to someone in need.
The villain bear, Hancock, is a comical antagonist whose poorly executed schemes often lead to failure. While he plays the role of a villain, he is talented at disguises and unusual inventions and occasionally even cooperates with the police, giving him a relatable and humorous personality rather than that of a typical evil character.
“Riddle Town Bears” follows the staff of the Harrison Detective Agency as they solve everyday mysteries in their quirky town. Through these stories, the IP delivers humor, emotional connection, and a sense of catharsis, reinforcing the concept that ordinary people—without superpowers—can still be heroes in their daily lives.
