Have you worked out which message the dashes provide reference for?
The “dashes” in question are on the side of the game box that shows the game’s web address.
Even though the dashes are on one side of the box, the message they provide reference for is on another.
Take note of which letters correspond to the eight emphasized dashes.
The letters that correspond to the emphasized dashes will spell the answer.
The dashes should be applied to the “Genius Indoctrination Exercise” side of the box.
The emphasized dashes indicate the letter that is “beyond” them on the other side of the box. So the right-most dash is indicating the “G” from “genius”. Which happens to be the first letter of the answer.
