I have two ideas about the symbols, but I have not figured it out. Its not about winning for me, I am sure some intelligent souls have already figured it out. now its personal.
First, I think the box may be a code that tells you how to crack the cover, a substitution cipher that replaces regular letters with symbols. The symbols remind me of a pigpen or Freemasons cipher, but there are too many possibilities there are 16 triangles in the box with way more than 26 possible mixes, 36 if you count zero nine Serenity may well be a keyword to cracking the code, particularly due to obvious spacing of the "e"s if you apply "serenity" to the 1st row.
Secondly, the series of of symbols on the cover may be a means of decoding the message on the box which may give you some info on how to find the eight numbers.
There may still be time to figure out the code before too many other people do. no doubt lots of people have already entered totally bogus codes, and many more have taken the bogus codes people posted and used them.
