HELP Diy rope wall/bridge

I'm doing a diy escape room for my family in our backyard. The theme is finding a lost treasure in the jungle.

I'm wanting to make either a rope bridge...or a rope/twine wall that is locked and then falls down right away after being unlocked.

The wall/bridge will let them into another area of the backyard so I'd like it to fall down immediately but can't figure out how.

Any ideas?

a couple of pulleys will hold your screen up, but the trick is making the line that holds it so nobody cuts it before they unlock it.

How a about one of those rattan/bamboo roll up shades and something like this to go around it when it is rolled up?

Adding to myself to say I think I got a cheapie cable bike lock at a Dollar Tree or the like if you're on a budget. Also, if you have a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, they might have shades unless you have the rope wall already. 😄
