Everyone is riding down the river in an inflatable boat with rows in hand. The solo player is on the left side while the team of three are on the right side. You’re on the same boat, but you are not all working together.

If either side gets too close to the edge of the river, Spear Guys will appear and stab ya. If the solo player gets stabbed, they’ll lose three coins and the team of three will get a coin each. If the team gets stabbed, they’ll lose one coin each and the solo player will get those three coins.
