I agree. Give her time to settle in, get used to the smells, and realize that another kitty isnt coming out.
A cardboard box is worth its weight in gold.
Anything hidden. take a mouse on a string and pull it under a blanket
wadded up paper is normally irresistible.
a laser light is usually great fun. Chase the light under the edge of things
a cardboard scratch-er box is usually great fun too.
Lay newspaper out on the floor and let her try to dive bomb to get under it.
Da-Bird! its a set of feathers on a stick that twirls and makes the same noise a real flying bird makes.
Ping Pong ball in the bathtub.
Dripping water in the bath tub draws them in from far and wide.
Cats play for about 2 to 5 mins in the early days. as kittens they play longer, and as adults their play time shortens, but they may play in frequent bouts. My 5 year old lily will only play for a few minutes with toys, and then she lays down and wants to be brushed. Jack is just re-learning how to play.
Best advice is to brush her. Get her used to her feet being touched so you can trim her claws. This way she will not want to sharpen them on your couch.
