Abstract
The integration of CUIs in games is a relatively new trend and not widely reported in the literature yet. In this paper we position a CUI within a magic show format, which can be fully customized for educational, informational, and entertainment formats. Infotainment, a combination of information and entertainment, is very important for broad appeal and engagement, i.e. to attract attention of the wider public, including younger audiences who are more interested in game formats. This paper presents MagiChat, a card guessing game based on a chatbot created with the RASA framework. The interactive dialogue system, which is available in two languages (English, German), combined with the dynamic visualization of cards, it constitutes a creative and attractive game which can be used for infotainment purposes at conferences and exhibitions.
