Give each definition a dictionary of exits like:
    exits = {'north': testroom1(),
             'south': testroom2()}
    default_exit = testroom3()
In default room have a transition method that's like:
    def transition(self, exit):
        self.exit = exit
        if exit in exits:
            return exits[exit]
        else:
            return default_exit

This is really rough. You can fix it up.

Also, I would recommend giving your game engine a "map",
somewhat like how Zed Shaw did in the text adventure in Hard Way.
Rather than having rooms create rooms keep a dictionary of rooms
in the engine that is called when the program start. Something
like {"den": room1(), "kitchen": room2()...}

That way you can just have something like

current_location = self.map["den"]

So you only initialize the rooms when the game first starts.
