Okay so on an alternative account I tried this achievement following my guide step by step and of course I’ve run into the same problem with the map played box not being ticked!
So I’ve tired putting a safe room in the middle. Didn’t work. Tried adding a large tile with a hallway, dead end, exit etc. That didn’t seem to work either. Then tried it again but this time I put enemies and gun spawns in too and that didn’t tick the box either so not really sure what’s going on to be honest :( I’m going to try again tomorrow

Other guides didn't work for me so here's how I got this cheevo. On the main menu select Multiplayer, Escape then map sharing.
Once in Map sharing press RB to go into My Maps and select Create New Map.
When the map creator page opens up you need to select a start block which will be the first block on the left of the screen, select it and press A to place it. Once its placed ther'll be a red square with a hand in the centre on the block you've just placed so move that square off to the top of the block until the hand changes to a spanner and hammer, Press A, this will bring the room selection menu up again.
move two blocks down until the Escape Exit is highlighted and press A to select it, move it until it's white and connects to the start block and press A to place it.
Press RB to go along to pickups and add a few of your choice on the start tile near where the tiles join.
Once placed press the menu button to go into the diting page and head down to Map Thumbnail (can't publish the map without one) and press A. This will bring up a picture that you just need to press the double square button to capture.
Once the thumbnail is done highlight play map on the menu on the left and play your map (it'll ask you to save it before playing so select that.)
Once you finish playing the map select Return To Map Editor to be taken back to the map building page and press the menu button to go into the editor page.
If all the Map requirements on the right of the screen are ticked then select publish in the left hand menu and the cheevo shoul pop when the bar on the top left has filled.
Once the cheevo pops you can use the same method to start the map to delete it, Multiplayer, Escape, Map sharing, My maps and select your map go down to delete and delete it and then you can spend some time building a more elaborate map if you like.
