Sure there is. You can only have one extension per call by default.

Wait a minute! Good ol' Transfer works fine. You just transfer it to the 
extension you want. No reason you cannot have an extension for each room 
which all ring. The call goes to the extension which answers first. 

You can have conference calls too. Now every room can join in. You can have 
conference rooms that only allow certain rooms even.
