I can't believe there's no topic on this!
The challenge scroll says, Clear the room within 100 turns without leaving to enter from another direction.

My most efficient path gets around the room and slaying the roach queens by the 100th turn, but the achievement doesn't pop!
Is there a more efficient route? Because I can't find it!

Doubt my route is the most efficient one but I've done it in 96 turns. Keep trying!

Just in case you're missing the significance of a couple of points:

1) The 'without leaving' bit means you need to do the challenge from the level start position, not entering from a border.

2) 'Clear the room' means killing everything except the slayer, not just the queens. Roaches and eggs too.

3) 'Within 100 turns' actually means the last death needs to be turn 98->99, not 99->100. This is probably unfair, but is how it's working for me testing again now. If the turn counter (F7) reads 98 or lower and then you make the last stab, challenge completed. If it reads 99 before you make that last move, it won't trigger. (I'm guessing this is probably because the challenge is checked/triggered the turn after you kill everything, and that turn after you kill everything needs to be turn 100 or earlier).

As for suggested route, this worked for me:
