Together with his good friend, Leonard Stern, they also created Mad Libs, a mixed-up story-telling game.

Droodles were so popular that they became the subject of a 50's TV gameshow. Roger Price and Leonard Stern founded the Price Stern Sloan Inc., a publisher of educational books. Roger Price passed away in 1990.

Shortly after, Price Stern Sloan was acquired by Penguin Putnam. In 2000, L.L. Sloan and Leonard Stern launched another publishing company, Tallfellow Press, and acquired the rights to Droodles. Roger Price was also a panelist on The Names the Same a game show where they had to guess people's names.
