Chambers are unlocked if you perform a certain task. Each Wu-Tang member must find his own path to the 36 Chambers (ie, you must play with everybody to unlock everything). Groups of Chambers unlock secrets (groups are denoted by color). You must be in the Story Mode to unlock Chambers. Here is the key to the Chambers:

NOTE: The gained functions vary by character. The given rewards are from using Method Man, and give you a good idea of what to expect when you've collected a set of Chambers. However, the game has a complicated secret system that encourages you to use every Wu-Tang character completely (and master him in Practice mode). You can expect similar results when using other Wu-Tang members, but you will not always get the same results (for instance, GZA's Blue Chambers unlock his second Fatality; Masta Killa unlocks the Ninja game mode [fight in a darkened arena]).
