One observes that \begin{equation*} 4!+1 =25=5^{2},~5!+1=121=11^{2} \end{equation*} is a perfect square. Similarly for $n=7$ also we see that $n!+1$ is a perfect square. So one can ask the truth of this question:

  • Is $n!+1$ a perfect square for infinitely many $n$? If yes, then how to prove.

    I remember having this same question while trying to prove that some polynomials were irreducible in an algebra assignment years ago. Namely, $(x-1)(x-2)\cdots(x-n)+1$ is irreducible when $n$ is not $4$. After showing that its reducibility would imply that it is a square, one is led to your question. We didn't know it was an open problem.2010-10-27

    The pair $(m, n)$ of the form $$n! + 1 = m^2$$ are called *Brown Numbers*. It has been conjectured that there only exists *three* pairs. You can do a little bit of research.2017-10-02

This is Brocard's problem, and it is still open.

    Note that the article says that the number of solutions is finite on the assumption that the ABC conjecture is true. There is now a claimed proof of the ABC conjecture.2012-10-01

    According to Wikipedia's [ABC Conjecture entry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abc_conjecture), the original proof was in error, but as of March 2013, a proposed correction has been posted.2013-06-23

The sequence of factorials $n!+1$ which are also perfect squares is here in Sloane. It contains three terms, and notes that there are no more terms below $(10^9)!+1$, but as far as I know there's no proof.

My intuition would be that there are very few. There are just not many squares and even fewer factorials. OEIS A025494 lists the squares which are a sum of distinct factorials, which is less restrictive than what you ask and says the list is probably finite. In particular, there are no more below 31!
