Interest in the accommodation and environmental requirements of old people living in residential homes has been stimulated by a growing body of evidence concerning the effects of the physical setting on the quality of their lives. This paper describes the development of a visual game technique for obtaining evidence about consumer preferences and the sort of features which residents would choose in a home. It is argues that the shift from conventional verbal interviews to a visual method permits elderly residents to act out the role of 'environmental decision-maker'.
