It is widely believed that there indeed exists a prime between $n(n+1)$ and $(n+1)(n+2)$ for every integer $n\geq 1$. This appears to be beyond the scope of existing methods, however. Even the "easier"easier problem of find a prime between $n^3$ and $(n+1)^3$ for all integers $n\geq 1$ appears to be beyond the scope of existing methods. Dudek recently proved that there exists a prime between $n^3$ and $(n+1)^3$ for all $n\geq \exp\exp(33.217)$. I suspect that the current computable Such an explicit threshold is not yet known to exist for primes between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$; your proposed problem would be much higherhas a similar predicament.
