With the help of our Youth Advisory Council, the 2026 Mystery Challenge has been reimagined as a media-based challenge focused on teen voices. Clubs and classrooms that implement YOVASO programming are invited to create a short audio or video show, such as a podcast, game show, interview, or news report. Submissions should highlight traffic safety, smart choices behind the wheel, and passenger rights. This updated challenge encourages creativity, teamwork, and peer-to-peer messaging while giving students the flexibility to choose a format that works best for their school. The top 3 school submissions will win $200!
The Mystery Challenge Overview includes challenge requirements, submission links, and a step-by-step planning guide.
