I've been working forever on this and I believe I have it somewhat close if not completely correct. I know there are people out there who've solved it, so tell me what I have wrong. Thanks.

I got this by looking at the symbols on the box top. I thought of them as "boundaries" for the symbols inside the box. There are 8 rows of 8 symbols inside the box. If the symbols inside the box were touching one of the boundary lines on the box top, then I counted it for that row. I just counted how many did that in each row.

This is for Somewhere. The final solution.

So far it's looking like I'm wrong.

Try this website, it has a good walkthrough for the box and lid...

I tried your reasoning, but a slightly different test. Thinking of the lid characters as grid lines, I tossed out a symbol inside the box if one of its shapes overlapped a grid line, then counted the symbols that were left. (I used rows, not columns, so you would get a different answer if you used columns.) At any rate, this approach resulted in 47787881.
However, I don't think this is the answer. Maybe I'm too straightforward, but when I see a box with a lid that has a BIG X on it, versus an empty box with a ridiculously complex code in it, I think one is real and one is a diversion.
I favor the simple approach of counting strokes for the 8 characters on the lid, which gives 46446372.

Are you looking for the keyword to get into the semi-final??? It doesn't have any numbers in it at all... It's a series of letters that can be found on the bottom right corner of the map on THE HUNT page.. Have you found all the hidden numbers throughout the game?

>got completely fed up od trying to work out box/book so i'm giving up. i've submiited an answer anyhow but if you work it out let me know, i'd be interested to see what you were actually meant to do.
I submiitde the answer based on the word serenity, from my mad logic!
serenity bay is part of castaway cay in the bahamas so i submitted the number part of the coords for castaway cay which is 2605n7732w, juts in case you want to give it a go.
cheers.
