I drift forever with the current down these long canals they've made. Tame, yet wild, I run elusive, multitasking to your aid. Before I came the world was a darker place. Colder, sometimes, rougher true. But though I might make living easy, I'm good at killing too.
What am I?
I have no voice and yet I speak to you, I tell of all things in the world that people do. I have leaves, but I am not a tree, I have pages, but I am not a bride or royalty. I have a spine and hinges, but I am not a man or a door, I have told you all, I cannot tell you more. What am I?
I am a word of five letters. Take away my first and I am the name of what adorns the estate of many of the nobility of England. Take away my first and second, and I am the name of a place where all the world was once congregated. Take away my last, and I am the name of a beautiful mineral. Take away my two last, and I am the name of a fashionable place of resort. I am small in stature but capable of doing a great deal of mischief, as I once did in London in the year 1666. What word am I?
The key to this riddle is realizing that you do not have to pull the emergency switch in the first room, the entrance, and so that room will not lock down. You can leave it, and then return to it and go out the other door. And indeed this is exactly what you need to do so you can hit all 16 rooms and end in the exit room.
Once you know to leave and reenter the first room, there are eight possible solutions to travel through all the rooms and end at the exit. Because the first room is clear, you can backtrack through it to get back on the right track and pull the emergency switch in every room, saving the world from agonizing death by ancient virus.
